Coventry and Warwickshire business talent programme returns in 2022

Coventry and Warwickshire’s business talent can take advantage of a programme of events geared at making them leaders of the future.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s Business Talent has been working with young business professionals from across the region over the past two-and-a-half years to help support their career development.

The group has 60 members from a range of businesses across the city and the county and is now recruiting for more ahead of its first event of 2022 on February 23 where they will hear from a broadcast professional on the communication skills required to ‘Be Your Authentic Self.’

That will be followed by a networking event on April 28 at the returning Assembly Festival Gardens which proved to be hugely popular during the summer as part of the Coventry UK City of Culture events programme.

The blend of training and networking will continue across the year including sessions on communicating to influence and strategic thinking as well as a summer barbecue and a Christmas social.

The programme is sponsored by West Midland Reserve Forces Cadets Association.

Sean Rose, who heads the programme for the Chamber, said: “It has been great to see so many of our young professionals growing and developing with the programme since its launch in 2019.

“We have many success stories and we want that to continue by bringing in new members who can benefit from the training we offer but also from networking with their peers which is proven as a great way of helping business talent to develop.

“We have a wonderful, packed programme of activity for 2022 that offers a perfect blend of business expertise alongside the social aspects.

“I’d encourage young professionals to come forward themselves and would also urge businesses to put forward members of their team who they think could flourish with this kind of support.”
