Inspiring the next generation of Bath business talent
We’re very excited to be supporting a fantastic new competition that will pair Bath’s best and brightest young business minds with the city’s excellent social enterprises, startups, charities and community organisations.
Through the Future Talent Accelerator Challenge competition, up to four local organisations will benefit from the time, energy and expertise of the 12 young professionals.
The talented twelve are the inaugural participants in the Future Talent Programme, a yearlong leadership mentoring programme organised by Bath Bridge, an independent city-wide advisory group. Drawn from Curo, Gradwell, Bath Rugby Foundation, Julian House, Bath Spa University, Mayden and Mentoring Plus, they offer local organisations a range of skills and expertise, including:
- Relationship and partnership building
- Operations management, systems and process
- Business planning, strategy and development
- Marketing, events, communications and branding
- Income generation and fundraising strategy
- Troubleshooting
We are inviting any social enterprise, charity, community organization or socially-minded startup to come forward and apply – just email competition@bathbridge.co.uk before September 30 and explain how you could benefit from a dedicated 6-month special project. Winners will be chosen at a “Dragon’s Den”-style event on Wednesday 28 October.
