A Sheffield Chamber of Commerce Business and Enterprise Academy has been unveiled at The Sheffield College in a national first. The academy offers students across the curriculum mentoring opportunities with Chamber members. Around 1,000 Chamber members have been


invited to support students so they develop the business and enterprise skills that employers need. This is believed to be the first time that a


British Chamber of Commerce has worked with a further education college in this way. The initiative is part of a series of


employer skills academies that have opened at the College to inspire students to go further in their careers. Other organisations backing the


scheme include Discovery STEM, Greene King, Kryolan, Liberty Speciality Steel, Millgate, MSK Ingredients, PJ Taste and WANdisco. Employers are providing


industry talks and placements, as well as work experience and curriculum projects, and assisting students with CV writing and interview sessions. Specialist speakers are also visiting the College to provide an insight into a particular industry or role. The Sheffield Chamber of


Commerce Business and Enterprise Academy at the College’s City Campus, was


Angela Foulkes, Chief Executive and Principal at The Sheffield College, with Steve Manley, former President of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, at the launch of the academy


Inspiring Women event series launched


Sheffield Chamber was delighted to launch its new Inspiring Women networking event series, in partnership with Vine Hotels, at the newly opened Laura Ashley The Tea Room, on 12 December 2019. Sheffield Chamber is always striving to


support diversity in the workplace. This new series of events are designed to celebrate and support women in the workplace and to encourage business professionals from across the city to come together and create new relationships. The launch event in December welcomed over


40 businesswomen through its doors. Guests were treated to a Christmas themed welcome drink of mulled wine on arrival, an inspiring keynote speech from Stella Steele, followed by a

festive afternoon tea. Keynote speaker Stella, Director of Operations at Sheffield Chamber, shared her inspiring story of how she juggled her career with being a mum and overcoming a brain tumour, all while achieving a Master’s Degree in Employment Law. Garin Davies, CEO at Vine Hotels, said: “The


event was a great success and Stella is a fantastic, inspirational speaker. The Inspiring Women Network is committed to providing equal opportunities for all and their ethos is aligned with ours here at Vine Hotels. It’s the first in a series which will take place across various Vine properties during 2020.” The next Inspiring Women event will take place


on Friday 13 March at Kenwood Hall, in celebration of International Women’s Day.
