A recruitment event for the care sector will be held in Harrogate.
Yorkshire Care Alliance, a charity which was launched to help recruit staff, is set to host a workshop on September 26.
The event will take place at Pavilions in Harrogate from 10am until 11.30am.
Facilitated by Nick Bramley from Impactus Group, the workshop will focus on the challenges care companies face both recruiting and retaining staff.
Nick Swash, chief executive of Yorkshire Care Alliance, said:
“There are so many challenges facing not only care companies, but unpaid carers and the whole industry.
“No one organisation exists to take on these challenges and look for solutions. We have set up the Yorkshire Care Alliance to fill this void and bring together people from across the whole sector to help address the problems.
“It is all about working together, positivity and finding solutions together. This is why we launched with six free sessions across the region, each covering different topics such as CQC inspections, insurance and recruitment.”

Mother-of-two Hayley Thompson, 37, and Sarah Birt, 27, have been appointed to the roles.
The pair will be tasked with leading a new ‘curiosity approach’ to early-years learning and development.

“There have already been a number of changes in our early years department over the summer, and we are excited about the future as we help build strong foundations for our children to thrive in an ever-changing world.”
