The SCR Chambers: East Midlands
Chamber launches Generation Next
This recent Generation Next launch event was attended by more than 140 delegates
East Midlands Chamber has launched a new future-leaders network designed to equip aspiring young businesspeople with the experiences and opportunities to succeed. Generation Next aims to retain the skills in the
region, so it remains an attractive proposition to anybody starting out in their careers. The network aims to reassert the region’s
place on the map for fresh talent and highlight it as a great place to work, live and play. Generation Next does this by providing
resources to develop the skills and knowledge of new business people and enterprise start-ups. Along with a full events programme,
Generation Next will also offer regular networking opportunities, workshops and a mix of formal and informal topical events, hosted by and featuring a range of the Chamber’s member companies and advisers. The overall aim of the
network is to build futures to help the region thrive. Here are five reasons how
Generation Next will do just that:
2. It will help prevent the ‘beeline’ to London If graduates and new entrepreneurs realise that there is opportunity within our region, along with the lower house prices, they will remain here to build their futures, rather than heading off to London or the UK’s other major cities. Generation Next will showcase the best of our region’s business in a bid to inspire others to set up and stay within our prosperous region – retaining talent and providing a boost to our region’s economy.
‘Providing
resources to develop the skills and
knowledge of new business people’
1. Generation Next will give the future generation of business leaders the tools to succeed Whether straight out of university, or starting up a new enterprise, there can be an element of the unknown that surrounds exactly what is needed to start a successful career and/or business. Using the stories, experiences and advice from
established businesses, Generation Next hopes to bridge this gap and let members in on all the varied elements crucial to succeeding. It will also offer events and resources dedicated to essential skills which will give members that extra edge when starting new employment.
3. The network will create a new community of fresh faces Generation Next will act as a community for businesspeople from aspiring professionals and undergraduates to enterprise start-ups, in order to support their career growth; with the networking acting as a vital and accessible go-to for any questions or queries. It is also a fantastic opportunity to get
networking, a key ingredient to making a business thrive. It allows you to make connections, collaborate with like-minded individuals and reach
new audiences – perhaps your future business partner, supplier or client.
4. Generation Next will use thriving businesses to inspire others The Chamber has a pool of successful organisations at its fingertips of all sizes and
from all sectors. With their help, Generation Next can offer meaningful events, resources and guidance drawing on the experts who have been there and done that. The network offers the opportunity for
organisations to become mentors to the next generation of business, to offer tangible understandings of the business landscape and create sustainable growth.
5. It will showcase the best of the region With brilliant connectivity, fantastic businesses, great communities and affordable house prices, the region has many great selling points. With Generation Next’s support offering, it is perfectly paired with a thriving region to make sure its people thrive along with it.
