The Big Conversation

Top Northern Ireland business leaders and school children took part in a Big Conversation aimed at boosting the job skills of young people. The event took place on Tuesday 25 May at the Belfast Waterfront.

The new Business in the Community Campaign – Work Inspiration, in conjunction with the CBI and supported by Northern Bank and UTV Media plc, aims to get more young people and employers involved in valuable work placements.

One of the key issues identified was the gap between the idea a young person has of the world of work and what a business expects from them.

Eleven pupils from Ashfield Girls’ took part in the conference and Sarah Fullerton, 12D, brought great honour to herself and the school when she very competently assisted Jamie Delargy, Business Editor at UTV, in presenting the conference at the Waterfront. Sarah appeared on UTV Live and you can see the news item here. Amanda Davidson and Grace Manwa also took part in a one day work experience at Eircom UK Ltd and are to be congratulated on the part they played in making the event a success. Ashfield Girls’ was one of only six schools across Northern Ireland invited to participate in the programme.
