Paul Gordon - GPPA-G Business Network

It was great to learn about our host’s overall vision for Hellersdorf both on a national and international level. Fantastic to hear from the Mayor of Hellersdorf and his commitment to eradicate youth unemployment by 2016. Something worth considering in the UK to adopt Hellersdorf’s model especially focusing on the entrepreneur side of developing young people into business establishment. It was also great and insightful to learn about how Koch manages their recruitment process. It’s a model I will explore further into our business development for young people.

 Lots of positive ideas learnt and shared and will definitely have a better view on growth and better recruitment strategies for growth. Have also benefited in having a better understanding and importance of good apprenticeships and training, while not throwing away good working practice in the medium and long term.
