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 1-2 guest speaker(s) 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
Can we help you diversify your recruitment reach? Can you help us change a life?
Hear from two fellow Chamber members Break and The Feed. They have supported people who are now looking for maybe just a chat to help them decide direction, possibly work experience or even a job.
If you are recruiting now or will be in the future, then hear about another way to find candidates to help your business.
It may be that you want to consciously give people a chance who’ve had a tough time in their life so far.
Perhaps you like backing fellow local people, charities and organisations in other ways and could extend this philosophy to recruitment.
Hear from Michael and Chris about how as little as half an hour of your time can be life-changing to someone looking to build their career.Guest Speakers
