About the day:
Let's Get Down to Business is an exciting and interactive opportunity to give Year 12 students an overview of Derby Business School, learning first-hand from our expert academics and students about what it is like to study at an internationally recognised business institution.
Students will be introduced to our brand new, future-focused Derby Business School, and will hear about the excellent industry links we have with local and national businesses such as Rolls-Royce and the NHS.
Live brief with a Google senior lead:
Your students will have a unique opportunity to work on a live brief led by Kevin Alcraft, Google’s UK and Ireland Sales and Operations Lead. This exciting experience allows students to engage with a global brand and develop the skills needed to become the next generation of business problem-solvers, and gain insights into what top employers look for, and discover how students can stand out in today’s competitive job market.
Not only will students tackle real-world challenges, but they will also gain valuable experience pitching their ideas to a panel of business leaders and active researchers in the field. This dynamic brief encourages teamwork, creative thinking, and practical application of their learning in a professional context, and helping you to meet Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 7.
