Young Liberal Entrepreneurs Network to bring together young entrepreneurs with business people

By Liberal Youth | Sat 26th November 2016 - 5:24 pm

Liberal Youth will launch the first in a series of Young Liberal Entrepreneurs Network events this Monday. “Be Your Own Boss” brings together the next generation of business tycoons with established Lib Dem entrepreneurs. The event will explore techniques young entrepreneurs can use to found a successful start-up.

“Be Your Own Boss” will take place at University College London with speakers including founder of Think publishing, Tilly McAuliffe, managing director of Tancroft Communications Ltd., John Duggan and co-founder of Charlie HR, Ben Gately.

The event follows the release of the government’s Autumn Statement detailing an expected rise in unemployment which is likely to hit young people the hardest. Brexit represents a massive threat to businesses and jobs. For young people brimming with innovative ideas but disillusioned by a stagnating job market, the Lib Dems remain a beacon of hope.

Liberal Youth Freshers’ packs are here

As I’m sure you are all aware since May 7th many local parties have experienced a giant surge in new members and the great news is that loads of those members are students!

There’s never been a better time to engage young people in the party and the effort and enthusiasm that they can put into helping out with a range of activities in your local party, will be incredibly beneficial. So, how do we engage young people I hear you ask?! The answer; Freshers’ fairs!

Freshers fairs are a great way to recruit and engage young members. The timing of Freshers’ Fairs differ from one institution to another, but they are usually held in late September. However, now is the time to start the preparations, as Universities/Colleges and their Students’ Unions are hard at work making arrangements for their biggest event of the year. So please do get in touch with your nearest HE/FE institution to find out more information as soon as possible.
