Topic - Schools and Colleges
Year 12 students and teachers are invited to join us for a day of interactive workshops and an introduction to studying business at university.
Interactive taster sessions on the day include:
Your Impact on the Earth: Manage your Personal and Commercial Carbon Footprint
This workshop will raise students’ awareness of their carbon and ecological footprint, helping them to understand how their actions impact Earth. They’ll learn that it’s not just individuals who are responsible for contributing to fighting climate change, but businesses too. We build the theme of sustainability into modules on our business courses, and students will join us in exploring the steps organisations can take to reduce their damaging effects on the Earth, implementing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Stock Market Challenge
This exhilarating session will give students the opportunity to step into the shoes of stock market traders and learn to navigate the highs and lows of the world’s stock market. Our experienced lecturers will guide them through the trading process to help them increase their virtual “wealth”. As it’s crucial to recognise the level of risk involved and whether the potential rewards are worth it, they’ll gain valuable insight into the world of high finance and learn strategies for making informed investment decisions.
Bored or Buzzing? What Makes a Workplace Thrive?
The purpose of this creative interactive session is to emphasise important components of engagement in the workplace. If the components are not in place, or not undertaken correctly, this could lead to disengaged employees which ultimately impacts on organisational performance.
Much of the literature surrounding the topic of engagement comes from what is known as ‘exchange theory’ (Blau, 1964). The workshop will expand students’ knowledge by exploring the exchange in the employment relationship using a hands-on, fun exercise.
