Whether you are running a business, or are an employee working in one, JCI can and will help you

For individuals:
JCI provides development opportunities that may not be available in your current work environment. The opportunity to gain new skills, polish old ones, meet new friends (from all over the world) to take part in or even run projects that mean something to you.
Even if you are currently not working, employers are looking for proactive people, therefore showing an active interest in an organisation such as JCI will do wonders for your CV and Interview presentation.

For Businesses:
We can either give you the opportunity to present your speciality to a receptive audience of young professionals who wish to learn more about the subject
or
Help you to increase the skill set and engagement of your employees by getting them involved in our training and project sessions.

This introduction email barely touches the surface of how JCI can help, so please come along to our 'How JCI Can Help You' evening, kindly hosted by Shirlaws UK, to find out more.

If you have any questions about any of the events, JCI or how to recognise your opportunities then Drop me an email

I look forward to hearing from you.
