Recruitment Peer network to offer bosses support

An acclaimed business support scheme delivered by Dorset Chamber has opened for ambitious bosses countywide. The Chamber has 100 places in its Peer Networks Programme for owners, directors and senior managers – with the scheme free of charge to all businesses with staffing levels of between five and 250 and a minimum turnover of £100,000. Participants will meet in nine small groups for sessions over the next six months to build longlasting bonds and find ways to boost business performance. Dorset Chamber won a competitive tender to deliver the initiative for the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Its first Peer Networks Programme, which ended earlier this year, received ratings showing that 91 per cent of participants were ‘very satisfied’ and eight per cent were ‘satisfied’ with the course. The programme will be delivered via Zoom and sessions will be for three hours, once a month, covering growth, leadership, happy and health staff and engagement, human resources, marketing and new technology. Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “The Peer Networks Programme has been transformational for some business leaders. “These types of programmes build incredibly strong bonds, friendships and trusted support networks which last long after the course has officially finished. “The groups are confidential and there are no sales pitches. “Facilitators run each group and expert speakers from the Chamber network give highquality presentations on a range of subjects vital for businesses.” For more details and to sign up call Dorset Chamber on 01202 714800, email peernetworks@dcci.co.uk or visit dorsetchamber.co.uk/ businesssupport/peer-network-programme n Dorset Chamber has also launched a new support initiative for business leaders. ‘Got Your 6’ (GU6 for short) has been developed to plug the gaps where the wellbeing of our bosses is often ignored or taken for granted. The initiative has been named after a term used by WW2 fighter pilots where they protected the ‘backs’ of fellow pilots in formation at the vulnerable rear ‘six o’clock’ position. Chamber board directors, ambassadors and members, as well as chief executive Ian Girling, have qualified as Mental Health First Aiders (donated by Ouch Training) They are available for a relaxed peer to peer chat or for signposting to further help.

Help on offer for school leavers to get on good career path

It has never been more important to help young people to set their sights on good careers and feel motivated about their future, says Dorset LEP’s Career Hub. The hub is calling for employers, large and small to offer virtual work experience in June. The deadline to get involved in Dorset LEP’s Dorset Careers Hub Virtual Work Experience initiative is fast approaching. A spokesman said: “Work experience gives young people a chance to develop skills and confidence, learn how organisations work, and find out which local industries and career paths they want to pursue. It allows them to think about their futures and make good decisions about employment and further study.” In a normal year 7,500 school students across Dorset would take part in up to one week of work experience, a key activity in their journey to adulthood. But this has not been a normal 12 months, and nearly all face-toface programmes have been cancelled. It has never been more important to help young people in Dorset to set their sights on good careers and feel motivated about their future, and to promote our most promising companies and industries. Businesses who are keen to help make a difference for young people in Dorset who and can volunteer between one and three days in June to get in touch with Dorset LEP at rphillips1@bournemouth.ac.uk and find out more at dorsetlep.co.uk
