Young Chamber in Schools

Schools are aware of their responsibility to help provide young people with the skills and knowledge they will need to enter the workplace confidently. The Young Chamber framework supports this and provides additional opportunities to develop commercial awareness and enterprise through contact with real employers and business issues. One of the key objectives of Young Chamber helps the voice of young people to be heard on a range of issues affecting business and the economic environment in which they live.

The students from their own Young Chamber Councils which, together with teachers and local Chamber staff, establish enterprise activities across all year groups. The Council also acts as a focus group, feeding back views and information from both students and businesses. The Young Chamber Council formulates and steers the programme of activities across a wide-ranging business and enterprise agenda.

Young Chamber gives young people the opportunity to:

• Gain the confidence and skills to become effective leaders, enabling the young person to be more successful in the future.
• Work alongside business people and professionals to develop successful projects.
• Build partnerships with young people and schools across Herefordshire and Worcestershire and the UK.
• Gain practical experience of the workplace and the skills that they will need for their future.
• Talk directly to local business people and employers developing the skills they will need to be more successful in the future.
• Voice views about local issues.
• Raise awareness of business, raising aspirations of future career plans.
