4. The project promoted the entrepreneurialism and employability of level 4 students with the training of relevant business skills by training various business related skills including group work, project management and communication skills.
5. The activity contributed to make the course more relevant by showing novel ways to make a positive contribution to society, re-energising the faculty’s theme on responsible business and sustainability.
6. The project primed students for both later opportunities for experiential learning (e.g. consultancy project) and also placement opportunities.
