Success Stories - Preparation for Placement / External Project Work

In the School of Marketing, Tourism & Languages, 3rd year Marketing students preparing for work placements attended both the "Influencing Others" and "Assertiveness" workshops, which utilised examples and role play from experiences of students in previous years. Students were encouraged to consider appropriate and professional responses to situations they may encounter on placement. Staff reported back that in reflective diaries, students mentioned both experiencing the situations covered during the sessions and subsequent development of these personal skills during the placement itself.
