NEXT Gen Stockport: Building Meaningful Work Experience

You asked, we listened!
Following October’s inspiring NEXT Gen event, we’re bringing everyone back together to turn ideas into action.

Join PIE: Pursuing Individual Excellence and partners for a dynamic morning of collaboration, practical discussion, and networking focused on creating meaningful, inclusive and impactful work experience opportunities across Stockport.

Together, we’ll build on your feedback — more discussion time, young people’s voices, and cross-sector solutions — to design real, local change.

What to expect

• Inspiring lightning talks from employers, educators and young people
• Interactive table workshops on designing and improving work experience
• Open discussions on barriers, inclusion and creative solutions
• Opportunities to connect, co-design placements and share learning
• Extended networking time to forge new partnerships and follow up on ideas

This event will take place at Arc @ The Hat Works, Wellington Road South, Stockport, SK3 0EU.

Arrival from 8:30am with refreshments
Event runs 9:15am – 11:30am, with open networking until 12:00pm

Whether you’re a school, employer, college or VCSE organisation, this event will help you strengthen partnerships, spark new ideas and play your part in shaping the future of Stockport’s young workforce.
