Thurrock’s Next Top Boss (NTB) scheme

takes place each year from 1 September to 31 March.

Thurrock's Next Top Boss

Thurrock's Next Top Boss gives young people the chance to work with employers on real business challenges. They learn about a range of career opportunities and the skills employers really want, as well as getting real-life experiences that aren't in any text book. It's a chance for young people to show employers what they can do - it looks great on a CV or an application for that next career move.

Local employers want skilled and talented young people to take up new, exciting employment opportunities. They need the best possible workforce to secure the success of their business. Schools, colleges and other educational organisations nominate young people to be involved each year.

Thurrock's Next Top Boss:

  • develops the talent of local young people aged 14 to 25 in education to support local business to recruit locally
  • promotes young people's self-confidence, aspiration and ambition
  • supports young people to become work and business ready
  • supports Thurrock's business base, local enterprise, innovation and economic growth
  • raises the profile of Thurrock as an innovative and progressive place to invest

How it works

The event comprises the following stages:

  • stage 1 - a Presentation on Thurrock and regeneration opportunities plus an Introduction to Thurrock's Next Top Boss
  • stage 2 - brand Academy-A presentation on branding plus training to help with image and self-presentation linked to the team challenge incorporating branding
  • stage 3 - the green solution challenge set by the education partner focussed on Thurrock as well as the green agenda for business
  • stage 4 - the business challenge set by the employer partner, involving external links, visits and presentations to the ‘top bosses' of companies or panels of managers
  • stage 5 - the judging panel
  • stage 6 - a business networking and awards event for members of the winning teams from stages 3 and 4 in each organisation with their employer and education partners

Thurrock's Next Top Boss takes place each year from 1 September to 31 March.
