Inclusive recruitment in tourism and hospitality

Join us for an engaging, insight-packed session showcasing how businesses are removing barriers and opening opportunities for underrepresented talent - including people with disabilities, neurodiverse individuals, and others with support needs. 

Through three practical case studies, you’ll hear directly from organisations putting inclusive recruitment into action and learn what’s working on the ground across the sector.  

Hear from industry leaders:  

  • JP McCafferty, General Manager, Bishop’s Gate Hotel 
  • Helen Connolly, Volunteer and Participation Manager, National Museums NI    
  • Hayley Norton, People and Culture Manager, Voco Hotel, Belfast  

 Plus, Roisin McKee from People 1st International, will share employer insights from the EPIC Futures NI research – highlighting how inclusive recruitment can unlock untapped talent and strengthen your workforce.  

 What you’ll gain:
