Engage Brighton & Hove

Engage (formerly known as the OEEG) meets once a month and is supported by the EE Forum, via e-mail, which provides a mechanism to share information, good practice and offer or request advice, guidance and opportunities in relation to employer engagement. Bi-monthly Training Sessions were held on key topics that were identified by the group; for more information on these please see The Good Practice Guide.

Engage is open to all organisations in Brighton and Hove that are involved in employer engagement, with the aim of creating work placement or employment opportunities.

If you would like further information or are interested in becoming a member, please contact either Claire Mitchell on 01273 291683 or claire.mitchell@engagesolutions.org.uk
