Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is delighted to be hosting a series of events as part of its commitment to the GM Young Person’s Guarantee.
These events are aimed at young people living in Greater Manchester who are interested in Self-Employment and Entrepreneurship.
Speaking at these events will be industry leaders working in Greater Manchester who will be discussing their own experience with setting up their business, followed by a Q+A session for attendees.
The three events will be themed around different sectors, including Digital & Technology, Professional Services & Marketing, and Arts & Culture.
These panels have been designed for Young People aged 18-30 who are interested in creating their own companies.
The Greater Manchester Young Person’s Guarantee has been designed to protect and progress young people’s future, particularly around securing future prosperity.
The Guarantee will focus on four key areas:
Keeping connected - Increased challenges caused because of social and digital exclusion, particularly amongst young people who are most disconnected and disadvantaged.
Staying well - greater risk of poorer mental health and well-being caused by social isolation, reductions in support and increased anxiety about the future.
Preparing for transition back into work and/or education - Increased chances of young people experiencing longer-term labour market inequalities and challenges because of the consequences of the pandemic.
Reducing economic inequalities - greater risk of poorer transitions from school and college, particularly for those young people in Years 11 and 13, and for those seeking employment.
