Who is this course for?

This EDI course is tailor-made and designed specifically with the current recruitment challenges facing the charity and non-profit sector. During the 2022 programmes we had a wide range of people from multiple teams and departments attend. The important thing is that attendees are willing to share thoughts and the knowledge they have gained while recruiting and a willingness to make changes. Past attendees have included:

HR team members
Project managers
Directors
Department Heads and Leads
Trustees who take part in recruitment panels
EDI committee members or champions
