About this Event
Bridgend Business Forum March Networking & Connect to Work Launch Event
Join us for an exciting opportunity to connect with fellow entrepreneurial minds in the business world at the Heronston Hotel & Leisure Club. You will have an opportunity to network with other local businesses and find out more about The UK Government’s new Connect to Work programme — local employers are invited to find out how it can support your workforce needs.
Join us for an informative session designed specifically for employers to learn how Connect to Work can help you:
- Access a wider pool of motivated jobseekers.
- Receive tailored recruitment support.
- Benefit from ongoing in-work support for new staff
- Contribute to improving employment outcomes in your local community.
What is Connect to Work?
As a key plank in the Government’s Get Britain Working Strategy, Connect to Work will primarily help disabled people, people with health conditions, and those with more complex barriers to work who are outside the labour market in ‘Hidden Unemployment’ who wish to be in employment, to find a suitable job and sustain work. It will also help those in work but at risk of falling out of the labour market to retain their employment. The programme will provide personalised, ongoing support to both the individual and the employer.
Why Attend?
At this event, you will:
- Gain a clear overview of how the programme works.
- Understand what support is available to employers.
- Hear about the benefits to your organisation.
- Have the opportunity to ask questions and network.
This in-person event will be buzzing with energy and innovative ideas. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, this is the perfect place to expand your network and gain inspiration. Don't miss out on this chance to collaborate, learn, and grow your business in a supportive and dynamic environment. See you there!

Beth yw Connect to Work?
Fel rhan allweddol o Strategaeth Get Britain Working y Llywodraeth, bydd Connect to Work yn helpu’n bennaf bobl anabl, pobl â chyflyrau iechyd, a’r rhai sydd â rhwystrau mwy cymhleth i waith sydd y tu allan i’r farchnad lafur mewn “Diweithdra Cudd”, ond sy’n dymuno bod mewn gwaith, i ddod o hyd i swydd addas a chynnal gwaith.
Bydd hefyd yn helpu’r rhai sydd eisoes mewn gwaith ond sydd mewn perygl o syrthio allan o’r farchnad lafur i gadw eu cyflogaeth.
Bydd y rhaglen yn darparu cymorth personol a pharhaus i’r unigolyn a’r cyflogwr.

- Cael trosolwg clir o sut mae’r rhaglen yn gweithio
- Deall pa gymorth sydd ar gael i gyflogwyr
- Clywed am y manteision i’ch sefydliad
- Cael cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau a rhwydweithio
