We are proud to announce that we have been awarded our certification and we can say Alchemy Studios is officially a Fair Chance Employer! But what is it? According to Warwickshire County Council:
'The Fair Chance Employment Programme is designed to work collaboratively with education providers and employability groups, helping employers to “level up” their opportunities by offering Warwickshire residents with supportive needs equal access to careers.'
In plain English this means Alchemy Studios has pledged to implement policies, strategies and practices that allow people that experience barriers entering the animation industry, more easily find employment at Alchemy.
'By addressing emotional, learning and workplace barriers, making reasonable adjustments to recruitment methods, and providing enhanced induction training to bridge skills gaps, the programme will allow employers to be more inclusive and attract more candidates to their roles.'
At Alchemy Studios, we believe in giving everyone a fair chance at success. Our hiring process is designed to be fair and impartial. We also have programs in place to support the success of our employees; these include mentoring, training, and career development opportunities. Our goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
The Fair Chance Employer designation is a testament to our values as a company and how we hope to and are committed to continuing to create a culture of inclusivity and opportunity.
We hope to encourage other companies to consider implementing similar policies and practices to promote fair chance hiring. Together, we can break down the barriers that prevent individuals from all walks of life from accessing meaningful employment opportunities.
