Future possibilities are limited only by the imagination
Tomorrow’s business landscape is yet to be revealed. Leaders must look to the future, boldly step forward and be ready for what’s next and beyond.
As a next generation leader in family enterprise or private capital, you are the key to your future.
EY NextGen is a global leadership platform built on three pillars:
- EY NextGen Academy: an executive learning program to enhance the performance and impact of nextgen leaders
- EY NextGen Network: a global membership community where peers can connect and share professional insights and best practice
- EY NextGen Forum: in-person and virtual events tailored for nextgen leaders
EY NextGen Academy: we help you gain the right skills
Since 2008, EY NextGen has collaborated with top international executive education institutions to deliver a suite of programs in EY NextGen Academy to provide you with the skills you need to excel at any level.
Hardwired skills are the foundation for any successful leader. They don’t just happen. Leaders need to develop skills like business transformation or professional governance frameworks through a mix of formal and on-the-job learning.
The EY NextGen Academy combines three key principles: academic knowledge from top international executive education institutions, professional experience and insights from EY professionals, and leading practice sharing between global peers in a trusted environment.
A range of programs are offered to accommodate different stages of career progression.
- Board Professional Program: Advances your approach, skills and performance to serving on boards.
- Excellence Program: Builds your leadership skills and confidence in positions of trust.
- Advanced Program: Challenges you to consider how to apply leading-class practices and develop your social, teamwork and leadership skills.
- First Program: Prepares you to discover how you can apply your talents, skills and interests to real business issues.

What do our alumni have to say about EY NextGen?

It’s a great opportunity to talk with people from different parts of the world and also from different industries about issues that are incredibly common with you.
