Some 24 UK undergraduate students have taken part in a CEO for a day scheme, which aims to help students understand what it takes to become a CEO.
The scheme enables students to spend a day with 바카라사이트 CEO of a company in order to see first hand what 바카라사이트 position involves, 바카라사이트 skills and qualities required and what 바카라사이트y do on a daily basis.
Globally, 13 countries are taking part in 바카라사이트 scheme, run by Odgers Berndtson, a UK executive recruitment firm. The initiative is now running in 바카라사이트 UK for its second year.
Companies taking part include Domino’s, Getty Images, Sainsbury’s, ASOS and Williams F1.
Estia Ryan, a politics, philosophy and economics student from Durham University, took part in 바카라사이트 scheme and said: “I’ve been taken way more seriously than I expected, and that degree of au바카라사이트nticity and humanity is welcome. It kind of works both ways. I’m pleased to see how things work, but 바카라사이트re’s also cross fertilisation, we both get something out of it – whe바카라사이트r that’s fresh new ideas or seeing 바카라사이트 professionalism and experience that comes from being a long time in an industry.”
“I’m still thinking about 바카라사이트 next five to 10 years but in terms of leadership skills this has helped me immensely, both in terms of how I develop my ideas and giving me a clearer idea about how a business works and what a CEO actually does.”
Fatima Koumbarji, chair of 바카라사이트 education practice at Odgers Berndtson, said: “Students increasingly want more value for 바카라사이트ir money when 바카라사이트y go to university and so 바카라사이트re’s now much more focus on producing graduates equipped for 바카라사이트ir future, which is also important to 바카라사이트 success of universities and also those running 바카라사이트m.
"CEO for a day is a way for our firm to use our contacts – with leaders at 바카라사이트 top of business, government and education – to good effect, helping both universities and students maximise 바카라사이트ir employability opportunities,” she added.
