Staffordshire Chambers is proud to announce that our Positive Pathways programme has been shortlisted for the Social Inclusion Award at Keele University’s Breaking the Mould Awards 2022.
Also shortlisted for an award is Fiona Miller, Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Growth Hub Marketing Advisor, who has been nominated in the Enterprising Student of the Year category for her work on the Chamber Happy innovation – designed to reunite the team post-pandemic.
The awards will celebrate the businesses, social enterprises and entrepreneurs that are thriving through innovation and making a difference in the world – with the winners set to be announced at the ceremony on 13 October at the University’s Smart Innovation Hub.
Our Positive Pathways programme supports refugees who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution with employability skills and business start-up advice.
Many of our participants are seeking employment opportunities in the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire area. That’s why we launched a new Chamber initiative in July – to help connect local businesses with refugees who have graduated from our Positive Pathways programme.
