Future Talent Alliance
Be part of the change to drive gender parity and more inclusive workplaces
The Future Talent Alliance is a new initiative designed to bridge the gap between businesses and schools, creating pathways and opportunities for the next generation of talent.
Join the debate on Friday 4 July at Alliance Manchester Business School and help to foster long-term, sustainable change.

Sarah Featherstone, director of school operations at Alliance Manchester Business School said: “We’re delighted to be supporting this event for the Future Talent Alliance which aims to bridge the gap between businesses and schools, in order to drive gender parity and inclusion in the workplace."
