Nextgen virtual speed mentoring

Tuesday 11 August 2020

As we re-emerge from lockdown it has never been more important to keep industry conversations going and those at both ends of their careers connected. As programme champions of New London Architecture’s NextGen initiative, G&T was proud to support NLA’s first virtual speed mentoring event, welcoming experienced industry professionals and those just starting out in their careers for an afternoon of knowledge sharing.

“An excellent experience which facilitated quick networking with individuals that I would not have met otherwise. I loved gaining advice and insight from the mentors particularly on their own career journey.”

Khalid Meah, G&T Assistant Surveyor

“What was really insightful for me was to learn how the next generation see themselves within the industry right now. They are all very inspiring and I can see that they have very bright futures ahead of them.”

Maliha Haque, Associate at LOM architecture and design

NextGen is an NLA initiative which identifies and supports young talent within the industry, and champions the professional development of the built environment’s future leaders. NextGen members are profiled in 50% of the full NLA programme, creating many opportunities to showcase new ideas and projects to the wider NLA network.

With special thank you to our mentors.
