Consultancy challenge launched for master’s students
The launch of the ‘We can work it out’ master’s consultancy challenge took place in the Management School on Wednesday 31st January.
Master’s students split into ten groups and were presented with consultancy problems from a number of organisations including Unilever, Mando, Airbus, JigTalk and Totem learning. They now have two weeks to work on their ideas and come up with solutions to the problems. During that time students will have access to a consultancy expert and will benefit from workshops such as ‘developing consultancy skills’ and ‘pitching an idea’.
Louise Mustchin, MSc careers advisor, commented “‘We can work it out’ is an excellent opportunity for MSc students to work closely on live projects with both corporate employers and SMEs. Students will develop their labour market knowledge, commercial awareness, team working, presentation and employability skills. This skills are crucial when applying for positions upon graduation.”
