Calderdale Chamber Networking – 11th January

Jan 2, 2024

Join us to take advantage of this opportunity to network in a relaxed setting with other great and local businesses in Calderdale.

In partnership with HAD – Print, Ideal Autolease and Calderdale College.

In January our speaker will be from Calderdale Council who will be speaking about engaging on Calderdale’s new Employment and Skills Framework and Inclusive Economy Strategy

Calderdale Council is currently leading work on behalf of partners to develop two key, and inter-linked strategic documents setting out ambitions and priorities for the economy, people and places across our borough – a new Employment and Skills Framework and a refreshed Inclusive Economy Strategy.

This work is being led by independent consultants who are engaging widely to ensure both approaches respond to the borough’s needs and opportunities as seen by the people they are designed to serve. The business voice is a vital component of that.

We are supporting this work by helping to facilitate this dialogue with business, both through this event and by circulating a short survey.

As the Chamber is currently moving away from Eventbrite please email events@my-chamber.co.uk to reserve a place.

Don’t worry if you are not available on this occasion, we meet bi-monthly to promote Calderdale as a great place to do business and to operate businesses from!
