Nurturing a bilingual workforce: A one-day event for employers

This event is free, and organised as part of the Arfor Challenge Fund scheme.

The day's programme will include an introduction to the Bilingual Workforce Recruitment Pack - an innovative resource designed to support organisations to recruit staff with Welsh language skills. This innovative resource includes a Good Practice Toolkit, which offers practical advice to organisations recruiting staff with Welsh language skills and a Typology of Welsh Speakers’ Migration Decisions, which helps employers to identify their target audience when trying to attract staff who have skills in the Welsh language.

Panel discussions will also form part of the programme, with employers and young people sharing their experiences and good practice associated with recruiting a bilingual workforce. In addition, panelists from Wales and the Basque Country will take part, sharing their expertise of working in the field of staff recruitment in minority language communities.
