Buisness Dynamics at Michelin
GROVE ACADEMY PUPILS GAIN A REAL INSIGHT INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD
A two-day Business Dynamics Programme was held at the Michelin Training Facility for Business Studies pupils in S6 on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th September.
The Programme is a registered educational charity that aims to bring business to life for students. Over the two days, business people led seminars in the areas of human resources, marketing, town planning, production and engineering. Speakers who gave time out of their busy work schedules were Gillian Kemp from NHS Tayside, Marc Cant from P&G, Mel Shepherd from Construction Skills, Colin Campbell from Campbell Constructions and Bill Hutchison from Adam Smith College. Working in groups the pupils were required to solve real-life problems and to report their findings.
The pupils involved are currently studying Higher or Int 2 Business Management, Higher Administration and Higher Accounting. The event not only allows pupils an insight into the world of business but also develops the Core Skills of working with others, problem solving and communication – skills essential in whatever career a pupil might follow.
