Social Mobility
An increasing number of clients, investors and employees want employers to take action and demonstrate leadership in improving social mobility in communities and their workforce. The determinants of social mobility are complex and BITC’s expertise enables us to work with our network to improve social mobility from community outreach to inclusive recruitment and workplace inclusion to building a skilled workforce.
