Building on the huge success of last year’s event, ‘Skills for Energy 2017’, when more than 400 students, parents and teachers connected with energy employers, our next event, Skills for Energy 2018, will take place on 28th November 2018.
This event will be designed to feed the increasing appetite among young people to explore the full range of training and career opportunities in the energy industry and how to access them. It will provide a unique opportunity to talk directly to and inspire potential employees and showcase companies’ investment in young people and the future.
We can only achieve this with the support of the region’s employers and their commmitment to take the free-of-charge exhibitor spaces and bring along interactive STEM-based activities, current apprentices and other employees who can talk to young people about their experiences.
Feedback from students and teachers from last year’s event was incredibly positive, so please help us to make this year’s event bigger, better and even more inspirational for our future workforce.

What people have to say about previous events….
I cannot recommend Chadwick’s Masterclasses too highly nor say enough good things about them. Chadwick’s Masterclasses provide fresh insights and offer practical steps to build, maintain and retain value in businesses. Richard delivers clear and well-thought-out advice while challenging preconceptions. The workshops are thoroughly researched and never turn into sales presentations. I learn something every time I attend. Paul Palik | Senior Associate | Corporate Team | Birketts LLP Beginning to plan seriously for retirement and being a relative newbie in Norwich, it was refreshing to be introduced to a firm that places great emphasis on technical analysis and thoughtful planning. Too often, in my experience, IFA’s are more concerned with style over substance but Chadwicks, through their Masterclass sessions offer real insight into investment management and retirement planning. Whether as a professional adviser or, like myself, someone looking for genuine insight into the changing times of today, I would recommend the sessions wholeheartedly. Andrew Thorpe | Finance and Operations Director | Jarrold Norwich The masterclass at Chadwicks, for me is a fantastic way to boost my knowledge in an important field which I often feel the effects from, yet seldom get to learn about. A wonderful setting at the enterprise centre, amongst like-minded company. Andy Davies | Business Development | Green Duck I have been a regular attendee at Chadwick’s business seminars for several years and without fail I have found the sessions to be useful and practical on the one hand whilst thought provoking and inspiring on the other. Many advisers can put on topical seminars, few can make you feel that you want to go on to study the subject yourself! Dawn Parkes | Managing Partner | Hatch BrennerWe’re collaborating with NatWest to provide female entrepreneurs with more access to expert support. Women in Business is a series of events with Gaynor Read, Natwest Local Enterprise Manager
