ACCESSING WORKERS OPEN TO OPPORTUNITY
There are significant populations who could work and who want to be working - whether they are UK resident workers affected by the pandemic, carers or care leavers, young people or the older generation, people with disabilities or single parents. Successful recruiters will work with likeminded clients to create the type of jobs that will attract the available jobseekers in your local community, including those that may have barriers to employment. By removing those barriers and making it possible to welcome such groups into your company, you could be creating happier, healthier and more successful work environments. Open to Opportunity is an ALP led programme to support labour providers and employers in providing employment opportunities to harder to reach groups of UK workers, and comprises practical tools, guidance and pilot projects to help attract, engage and retain people from all walks of life, who for various reasons, find it tougher to find a job, enter the labour market and remain in work. ALP has sought advice and expertise from a number of expert organisations to enable labour providers and their supply chains to source, recruit and retain harder to reach groups of UK workers successfully and in compliance with the law. These organisations are signposted throughout our comprehensive Open Recruitment Toolkit.
