    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    The Fife Employability Forum is held quarterly and brings together staff and managers involved in employability services from all sectors - aiming to help organisations to work together to improve employment outcomes for people in Fife.

    This quarter's Forum will focus on Employer Engagement.

    Presentations

    • Marnie Forster – Community Participant and Engagement Manager CVS Falkirk – who will tell us all about the Grangemouth Just Transition and how her work in employer engagement has been vital to local community wealth building and employability
    • Lynn Lloyd – Lead Advisor from Fife Council’s Economic Development Team – will join us to provide an overview of the current business landscape in Fife, outline key challenges and opportunities for employers, and explain how local business support services are evolving to meet these needs - particularly in relation to employability pathways
    • Louise Park – Fife Gingerbread – will join us to share how meaningful partnerships with employers have helped Fife Gingerbread broker tailored opportunities for lone parents facing barriers to employment
    • Ryan Hepburn – Developing the Young Workforce – who will explain how DYW partners with employers to help school leavers likely to be distant from the labour market into work
