Harrogate College is to host a week of sector-specific networking events for businesses next month.
The events will be held between Monday 14 and Friday 18 February. They are free and open to anyone who books a place via the college’s Employers’ Network page.
The sessions will cover energy and construction, health and social care, hospitality and retail, digital, education and training and business and finance.
They have been set up to facilitate talks between employers working in similar fields.
The college will use feedback from participating businesses to tailor its curriculum — and, if required, start new courses — to ensure it is delivering the skills that are most in demand by local firma.

Ms Hansen-Maughan said:
“Launching the employers’ network sparked such a positive discussion between all kinds of businesses, and this is a great chance to build on that.
“These sessions will allow people to mingle with others in their own industries, find out more about each other and potentially mutually beneficial opportunities, and explore those kinds of discussions further.
“You do not have to be a current network member to take part – you just have to book a place through our website.
“The network is growing and thriving and we look forward to welcoming new businesses along in February to find out more about it, and the benefits it brings.”
