NexGen Metals Community Seeks To Get Young Talent Into Steel

The NexGen Metals Community is guided by three founding principles:

1. Accelerate the growth and development of talented young professionals (under 40) in the metals industry

2. Attract new, diverse talent into the metals industry

3. Build a hub for collaboration among the best of the best to generate meaningful results for the companies they work for

With so many associations and professional groups already established in the industry, why this and why now? We believe in the concept of mutual mentorship. It’s the best way to pass along industry knowledge from the C-suite to up-and-coming professionals. It’s also a good way for C-suite executives to learn new ideas and innovative concepts from younger professionals.

This two-way dialogue, which NexGen will foster, is a win-win. Not only does it increase employee retention and satisfaction, it can also directly contribute to the bottom line.

What’s in it for members:

• Exclusive access to NexGen Metals Community member events

• Invitation to the NexGen Metals Community LinkedIn Group for networking and discussing trending topics in the metals industry.

• 30% off SMU conferences (SMU Steel Summit and Tampa Steel Conference) and training workshops. (*A limited number of discounted places are available per event.)
