Industry insights

A programme of guest speaker events gave students insights into the business world from those in the industry.

First and second-year students were given a unique opportunity to hear first-hand about the realities of running a business, at a series of guest lectures hosted as part of a special Industry Week programme.

Following a week of talks from industry experts representing small, medium and large organisations, students were tasked with completing a reflective assessment focused on two of the participating organisations.

Lyndsey Jayne Burkert, Liverpool Hope’s Business Engagement & Employability Manager, said: “Industry Weeks are a fantastic way for the School to link the practical application of business skills with academic studies.

“Our diverse portfolio of industry speakers gives the students a flavour of different sectors, opportunities, and business structures within the Liverpool City Region and beyond.”
