Recently, a group of local businesses, individuals with disabilities, and members of Coventry City Council gathered at Kite Packaging’s offices to celebrate the launch of TESS’s latest informative film, “Just The Job.†The event brought together TESS representatives, Coventry City Councillor Kevin Maton, and both employers and customers who support the service. Attendees watched the film and engaged in discussions about social enterprise and equal opportunities in the workplace. The film highlights the importance of diversity in hiring practices and emphasizes that many disabled individuals are eager to contribute their skills to the workforce. Kite Packaging has personally benefited from working with TESS, having hired Kieran, who has autism, through their program. This partnership has not only helped Kieran find meaningful employment but also enriched the company with a dedicated team member. TESS’s Employment Advisors are highly trained professionals who work closely with both employers and disabled individuals to create successful job matches. Their approach is personalized, involving multiple meetings and a trial period to ensure that each placement is beneficial for all parties involved. Several advisors were present at the screening held on Monday, October 6th, at Kite Packaging’s Tile Hill office, where they had the opportunity to meet clients and build new connections. In addition to the film screening, which is available for viewing on the Coventry City Council website (https://www.coventry.gov.uk/), the event featured a speech by Councillor Kevin Maton, Cabinet Member for Business, Enterprise, and Employment. He shared how TESS is helping to foster a more inclusive and diverse community, empowering disabled individuals to take control of their careers and contribute to business success. This message resonated well with Kite Packaging, an employee-owned company that values the dedication and personal investment of its staff in driving the business forward. As part of Coventry City Council’s Employment Team, TESS continues to be a valuable resource for the local community. The film and event provided a great platform to showcase the enthusiasm and commitment of the council, local employers, and the disabled community in creating a more dynamic, inclusive, and equitable workforce. It was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when businesses and support services work together to empower every individual.
