Is it a sign of the times?

25/09/2025

It must be a sign of the times!

Tuesday saw over 100 unemployed people join Growing Talent’s virtual information session ahead of our 42nd programme.

Over the 11 year history of Growing Talent – we’ve never had such interest.

Monday will see 66 of these awesome people with huge hidden talent join our Getting to Know you event with employers including CIS Security Limited, ISS A/S and hashtag#NGBailey.

They will gain insight into the employers’ own journeys to their current roles, top tips to impress as well as a Q&A session.

We’ll then brainstorm ideas for the London Challenge. Presentations of team ideas to improve their City.

Finally over coffee and biscuits, networking will commence – and not a cv insight!

Who will choose to go forward for the 1st stage selection on 6 October?

Check back to find out!
