Norfolk Chamber is passionate about bridging the gap between business and young people. We are continuing our engagement with schools through our Young Chamber school membership programme, on which we currently have 12 schools and 4 colleges as members. We also have a ‘Young Chamber Board’ to help us develop how businesses work more effectively with young people, especially in schools.
We feel that it is important that business individuals working in schools are supported, so we have developed a short training course to help businesses to feel more confident working with young people in a school environment.
The sessions will be delivered at Norfolk Chamber’s Norwich office by the Skills Service UK. The informative practical workshop will cover:
Information about schools, Key Stages, qualifications and terminology
Safeguarding introduction and do’s and don’ts
How to communicate effectively with young people
Understanding perceptions of young people and how they think
How employers can successfully engage with young people
Listening skills and learning styles
Examples of activities to do in schools
Places are limited, so will be allocated on a first come first served basis
This is the second in our 3-part Autumn Masterclass series. We started with investment fundamentals. In this session, we now move on to look at how to arrange your money to give you the life you want. We’ll show you how to work out how much money you’ll need and how, by creating a financial plan, you can plot your route to financial security.
Do you live for today or for tomorrow? A plan will help you do both. We’ll discuss in straightforward terms the impact of tax on returns and the advantages of using the tax breaks the Government gives us. We’ll look at how pensions work, at recent changes and why they are a great starting place; why ISAs are worth considering and why, while tax is an important factor, choosing the right investment should be your starting point. By considering the three pillars that sit at the heart of an investment plan we’ll start to make sense of the different types of investment. By the end of the session you’ll have a clearer understanding of what’s needed to set you on the road to the life you want.
Agenda:
Investment fundamentals – short recap of main takeaways from the previous session.
Financial Planning – creating and managing a robust financial strategy.
Comfort break
The Three Pillars – building a portfolio to support your plan, based on pensions, ISAs and ‘naked investments’.
A deeper dive into Pensions – how they work and why they are such a good idea.
