Social Value & Inclusive Workforce Solutions

At JM Skills Source, we support purpose-driven employers in delivering real, measurable social value through inclusive recruitment, employability training, and local community engagement.

Whether you're bidding for public sector contracts or want to improve your organisation’s ESG and CSR impact, we’ll help you build a more inclusive, future-ready workforce — while creating opportunities for the communities you serve.

Public sector contracts now require bidders to demonstrate how they will deliver value beyond the contract. This includes:

• Inclusive recruitment and local employment
• Supporting disadvantaged groups
• Upskilling the local workforce
• Partnering with community organisations
