This year’s Real-World Consultancy Programme was a huge success with 26 students, and six employers taking part.
During the programme, students were involved in all aspects of design thinking and have been putting their new skills to the test by providing a consultancy service to real clients, and working on a real challenge in their project teams. 🧠
Students have also gained experience in teamworking, pitching ideas, networking, and the ability to work to deadlines.
These skills are key to future careers paths and to help students grow in confidence while developing their creativity and entrepreneurial thinking.
Many thanks to Patricia Flanagan and Michelle Dolan from Rejig who facilitated the programme, and thanks also to all the Employers who took part, and to our own Careers staff for their hard work in planning the programme, and of course our dedicated Queen’s students for showing up every day of the intensive four-day programme in this lovely weather. ☀️
We hope this real-world experience helps you to shape your future. 🌟
