The Waiting Workforce: Fair Chance Hiring in the East Midlands
Tuesday, 30 June 2026 · 11:00 – 13:00
Antenna Nottingham, Beck Street, Nottingham, NG1 1EQ
About this event
Co-hosted by FCBA, KPMG and East Midlands Chamber.
As the East Midlands continues to establish itself as a national hub for innovation and industrial resilience, the greatest challenge remains the widening skills gap that threatens our regional growth. To address this, we must look beyond traditional recruitment and tap into the 'Waiting Workforce', a vast, underutilised talent pool of 10 million (by 2028) working-age people in the UK who hold a criminal record.
Fair Chance Business Alliance (FCBA) and KPMG are pleased to invite you to The Waiting Workforce: Fair Chance Hiring in the East Midlands, an event dedicated to showing how inclusive recruitment is no longer just a social exercise, but a vital strategic advantage.
By adopting the Fair Chance Charter, businesses across the region are not only solving their staffing needs but are driving generational social mobility and strengthening the economic fabric of communities.
We hope you will join us to explore how your organisation can turn this untapped potential into your next competitive edge.
