Young professionals are the future of business but more than a million under 24’s are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) across the UK and 6 out 10 East Midlands employers have reported difficulty finding suitable candidates to take on jobs.

Generation Next is a network of East Midlands professionals aged 18-40, aiming to empower and connect future leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators across the region.

In this episode, Chair Preethi Kang; Champion Blu Hardy and Lead Lucy Robinson address the barriers young people face when advancing their career and look at how business can benefit from their insight.
