They make sure you know exactly what is expected and help you every step of the way.   "Doing a Business Management course at the University of Chester has really opened my eyes to the amount of possibilities there are when I graduate."   Kayleigh Miller Employers meet undergraduates and get involved in classes... Business lecturers have been collaborating with the Department of Careers and Employability to bring in external speakers from industry to provide a ‘real-life’ perspective to curriculum delivery.  Hearing from employers gives students the chance to enhance their commercial awareness by gaining a ‘real-world’ view of their subject and an understanding of the challenges faced and the strategies used within the workplace. Hearing from a range of companies can also help broaden students’ awareness of career options after they graduate. Catherine Rawcliffe, Talent Acquisition Specialist at Enterprise Rent-A-Car tells us: "It is important for students to network and learn best practice from the world of work. Enterprise Rent-A-Car spend a lot of time with students at the University's Chester and Warrington Campuses. Across the academic year we have helped students develop employability skills and commercial awareness, which is invaluable to the students and helps them prepare skills needed for their career search and future career development. Enterprise Rent-A-Car have enjoyed building relationships with both students and staff. It is a great opportunity for us to spot talent, keep the talent pipeline open and, in turn, select the best people for our Management Trainee roles." Work Based Learning All students have a work placement as an integral part of their programme of study. Nauman Wasif, tells us: "I had a great time working with Oxfam for my Work Based Learning, and not only did I get an opportunity to observe management in practice, but I also came out with influential contacts and priceless learning experiences. It's a great opportunity for students to network with prospective employers and share experiences with people who've been in the industry for a long time whilst establishing long term relationships."
