SUMMARY:E-DATA Project Co-Design Workshop- North West
DESCRIPTION:We need your voice! Are rising costs\, manual processes\, and slow technology holding your business back? \nThe new E-DATA project is investing in digital support to help SMEs in NI and the border region overcome these challenges\, but we’re starting by listening to you. \nWe are running a series of 90-minute\, high-impact workshops across the region to help us: \n1. Define Your #1 Digital Hurdle: What’s costing you the most time right now? \n2. Prioritise Solutions: Should we focus on cost-saving through data\, or market expansion through automation? \n3. Build Our Roadmap: Tell us what tools and mentoring you need to compete globally. \nThis is your chance to directly shape a major new PEACEPLUS-funded support programme.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Employment in Manufacturing: Building a Future That Works for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Our recent webinar\, “Inclusive Employment in Manufacturing” delivered in partnership with NOW Group\, explored how diverse employment can transform both lives and workplaces. The session focused on fair access to good jobs in our sector and the positive impact this has on workplace culture\, retention\, innovation and creativity.\n\nSean Hanna (NOW Group) outlined how their team supports people with learning difficulties\, autism and other neurodivergent conditions into sustainable work\, and how they partner with employers to develop roles\, recruitment\, training and mentoring support. In 2024\, NOW Group has helped 400+ people into employment\, including 138 into paid roles in manufacturing\, with 93% still in work after six months. Their academy and in-work support model is also helping hundreds more build skills and confidence for future roles.\n\n\nReal experiences shared by Lindsay Colton (Terex) and Genevieve Martin (The JAQ Group) who partner with NOW Group\, showed that when we remove barriers and recruit diverse talent\, we gain stronger cultures\, better retention and more innovative teams – a future that genuinely works for everyone. Key outcomes were clear: diverse and inclusive employment isn’t just good for individuals\, it’s good for employers\, employees\, workplaces and manufacturing as a whole. \nSlides are available here: NOW Group – Manufacturing NI webinar\nTo find out more visit: https://www.nowgroup.org or email: sean.hanna@nowgroup.org
