Examples of employability in your studies
External Organisation Visits
External organisation visits or Study Tours provide students with opportunities to familiarise themselves with the work of organisations relevant to their programme content and/or future career aspirations. In some cases they may represent potential future employers. Embedded external organisation visits can add a valuable additional dimension to classroom learning.
If you would be willing to host a student visit to your business premises and talk to the students about your work, please contact the Student Experience & Partnership Lead - Skills & Development
