Training provider supports plans for Solihull's young people

Local youth training provider, Digital Innovators, will sponsor a Chamber event focusing on the borough 's plans to create opportunity for their young people.

The webinar, titled 'Solihull's Future Generation ', will be hosted by the Solihull Chamber of Commerce during a five-week Chamber campaign for the Festival of Business.

It will take place on 9 June at 8am.

Alongside headline sponsors LeapIt and Aston University, Digital Innovators will be sponsoring the session.

Attendees will be joined by local education providers Martin Murphy, chief executive officer and trust accounting officer for Arden Multi Academy Trust (AMAT) and John Callaghan, principal & chief executive Solihull College & University Centre.

They will discuss what education post-Covid might look like, the investments being made into skills and training and future plans around traineeships, apprenticeships and technical education.

Sabah Hussain, vice president of Future Faces and business architect at Corrella, will also join the discussion and explain the impact the pandemic has had on young professionals.

Mick Westerman (pictured), founder and managing director of Digital Innovators and vice president of Solihull Chamber, said: "At Digital Innovators we are passionate about supporting the future generation to gain the essential skills required to make a difference, both at work and personally, so that they can reach their true potential.

“This has never been more important than it is today as young people have been disproportionally affected by the pandemic and employers need to reskill and build plans for their future workforce. We are therefore thrilled to be the sponsors of this crucial event."
