With the Unlocking Potential Hub – What Next? Project, we are supporting young people with their “What next?”. By engaging small to medium enterprises across Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire, we are working as a team to create meaningful experiences for young people, to inspire and inform their next best steps.

The project has been designed to deliver a centralised hub of resources which includes coordinating activities that engage SME’s across D2N2. Engaged SME’s will help to inspire, encourage, and prepare young people for their “What Next” steps when finishing school or college. By working with SME’s, young people are understanding through employer encounters such as Mock Interviews, CV Workshops, Enterprise Challenge Days and Careers Talks, what is needed in the world of work and providing them with a true insight.

The What Next UP Hub is part funded by the European Social Fund.
