Event: Chamber Co.nnect Virtual Networking with Jenny Bach, UEA and Michelle Gant, The Engaging People Company

This is a member only event

Our new way of networking… 

Chamber Co.nnects are fortnightly network meetings for its members to network and chat with other businesses in a digital space. 

We believe networking is key during difficult times to help with mental health, continuation of business and access to help and advice from peers. Each network meeting will have a guest speaker and will be focusing on a current topic.  

Enjoy from the comfort of your own home with no early starts or commute and make sure to make a coffee and bring a smile to this online video meeting. 

Who’s it for? 

Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in the Norfolk area. 

Topic

Recruiting and Engaging People in Difficult Times

Hear what two of our members are up to and the exciting opportunities which are available. Jenny Bach at Norwich Business School, UEA will be sharing details of a free programme open to local businesses interested in recruiting business graduates from the UEA. Also, learn about their new apprenticeship proposition for senior leaders and managers.  Now more than ever we need to stay connected, and communications that are engaging are vital. Michelle Gant at The Engaging People Company will look at some tips for staying connected and engaged at the moment. And, there will also be an overview of an opportunity to get involved in the Love West Norfolk campaign next month.
