lt's great to come here and see the school and the Chamber putting so much effort into encouraging children.
Young Chamber is a pioneering development; one that is a leading example of how business and young people can work together to everyone's benefit. An enterprising mindset – a 'can-do' attitude – and an interest in business are essential for every young person and Young Chamber is delivering this.

for business
Employers can provide students with real understanding of the opportunities available and the skills, aptitudes and attitudes of mind that business needs.
This can happen in school, on the employer’s premises or on projects and events within the wider community. The time involved may vary from a short input, to a project, to a much longer term commitment.
Such activities might include undertaking research relevant to both students and local business, problem solving challenges set by the business community, mentoring, interview skills, business simulations …and much more!
This engagement – managed through their own membership organisation - can bring great benefits to the businesses themselves including an enhanced reputation within the community, improved employee morale and motivation and a better prepared potential future workforce.’
