Intellect Young Professionals' Network (IYPN)
"The development of people talent across our industry is an activity that I am both passionate about and dedicated to. Intellect's Young Professionals' Network (IYPN) provides a unique networking opportunity for young people who are in the formative years of their career development to learn from, and engage with, some of the most experienced and successful leaders in our industry. As a CIO, I know that success can only be achieved through people and there can be no better reward than to help foster the development of the next generation of leaders across our industry. IYPN is a fantastic initiative that is helping young professionals to develop the distinctive competencies, interpersonal skills and business relationships they will need to advance their careers and to tackle the many challenges of our globalising economy. IYPN is already making a significant contribution to the future of our industry and I know it will go from strength to strength!" Darin Brumby, CIO, FirstGroup plc
"The opportunity to network across industry and peers is invaluable but usually comes late in professional development. Working with Intellect on setting up the Young Professionals' Network has been all the more important because it is about supporting and encouraging young people early in their careers. I am delighted we are providing young professionals with a networking forum that they can make work for themselves and believe it will make a real difference to us all. This is an exciting initiative and I hope its promise is realised by the young professionals who will lead and take part in developing its agenda going forward." Anu Khurmi, IBM United Kingdom Limited "Throughout my own career I have always been involved in networks of like-minded people in our industry. This has been a source of enormous help to me, both letting me learn from others like me and giving me a platform to meet the movers and shakers in the industry. It is today's enthusiastic young people who will create the IT industry that will help the UK be competitive in the next few decades; Intellect's Young Professionals' Network will, I am sure, be a major asset in helping them achieve that." John Leighfield CBE, RM Plc "Young people embarking on a career in technology today have an exciting time ahead of them. e-skills UK believes the Intellect Young Professionals' Network will make an important contribution, helping young people to increase their understanding of the technology sector and share insight and experiences with business leaders and each other." Karen Price, CEO, e-skills uk
