Reports suggest that professionals aged between 18-35 have been the hardest hit by the repercussions of the Covid-19 lockdown. There is still a lot of uncertainty around what the ‘new normal’ will hold and many are left wondering ‘what’s next?’. For this Generation Next session, we will be hearing from the Chamber’s very own, Director of Policy and External Affairs, Chris Hobson, who will talk us through the state of the economy as we look to the road map of recovery. Chris will also provide some insights into up-to-date schemes, including the Government’s ‘Plan for Jobs’.

At the ages between 18 – 35, retirement may feel like a long way away but the decisions you make today, tomorrow, this month and year will have a profound impact on the future direction of your finances, lifestyle and your ability to retire when you want, not when you can. We will look at five simple steps everyone can follow to create a personalised financial plan, with the aim to spend those ‘golden years’, with sand between your toes, and holding a pina colada!

This is a fantastic networking opportunity for young professionals – between the ages of 18 – 35 – to meet new connections while having fun in a laid back environment. If you need a break from your busy Monday morning, this online event will be an ideal way to relax but also add an opportunity to create positive connections with Team GN and its members.

This event has been postponed. Further details will be released soon. Nowadays, professionals change their jobs on many occasions throughout their career. They must constantly train for, and adapt to, their changing workplace environment. Increased competition, digital transformation and the impact of Covid-19 are, among other factors, reasons as to why creating a personal brand is essential for young professionals.
