On Monday
6th February we welcomed the 1st year YIBs (Year in Business
students) to participate in a Business game run by Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the
Windsor Auditorium at Royal Holloway.
The Car Club Challenge event was run by Paul Hanrahan, the Talent Acquisition
manager at Enterprise. Paul inspired the students in his talk about ways of
developing their skills to enhance their employability. Students were then
given the chance to put their business and marketing skills into practice –
they worked in small groups to decide in which city Enterprise should open
their Car Club brand and how they should market that brand. This was a
fantastic opportunity for students to develop key skills in communication,
teamwork, analysis, leadership and presenting.
The students
received very positive feedback regarding their level of engagement, the
quality of questions asked and the strength of their presentations. Well done
to all the students who got up to present their team’s results! Participants in
the break out groups will all receive a certificate from Enterprise and the
winning group will receive Amazon vouchers.
The Car
Club challenge gave 1st year Business students the opportunity to
participate in the sort of activity they will encounter in Assessment centres when
they apply for placements next year! It also helped students think about and
develop the skills they can demonstrate on their CVs.
