Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management

The Global Entrepreneurial Talent Management (GETM) international research interest group is international and focuses on young talent as a key driver of economic development. GETM aims to improve employability and future global talent management by capitalising on entrepreneurialism as a key characteristic in young people.  

Despite a widely recognised importance of young talent, its potential remains largely untapped. Educated, entrepreneurial young people often experience instability in employment, while employers report skills mismatches and difficulties attracting, managing and retaining young talent. GETM aims to address the underlying issues relating to this through its main objective, these are to:  

  • Focus on in-depth research of specific issues from various stakeholder perspectives (e.g., students/graduates, HEIs, employers). 
  • Integrate research outputs and develop GETM across dimensions: generations, genders, disciplines, countries, sectors and stakeholders. 
  • Ensure researcher development, knowledge transfer and dissemination. 
  • Generate research capacity impact through international mobility and collaboration:
    - Provide researchers with first-hand and in-depth insights on specific issues from various perspectives, and
    - Develop research skills through networking and training incorporated into sandpit events  

Background 

This research interest group developed from a multi-sector, multi-disciplinary four-year project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 which brought together 16 industry and academic partners from five countries (UK, Ireland, Poland, Slovenia and Korea) to enable an international network of experienced and next generation researchers from across Europe and South Korea.  worked to enhance learning and knowledge exchange, enable researcher development, and create on-going and international partnerships across academic institutions and with community partners.

Events

The group organises a quarterly networking and knowledge exchange event – a ‘sandpit’ – rotating hosts around the UK, Ireland, Poland, Slovenia, South Korea and online. Each event has a different theme and focus of activities. The last in person event was in Dublin in January 2020. The next will be hosted by Korea and will take place online in summer 2021. All events are free to attend.
