Please complete the form below in order to access The Next Gen Talent Network. All fields need to be filled in to receive our opportunities.

Please note our online services are available for eligible students across the UK, but our face to face events and paid job opportunities are mostly located in London. There is a small travel bursary available to pay for travel to some, but not all events. More information about this will be shared after you sign up.

If you still have access to the Talent Network (formerly known as The Hub) you just need to log in and update your details. If you no longer have access, please just get in touch on admin@thebrokerage.org.uk to reactivate your account.
