How many times have you been sat in a class and thought… how is this going to help me in the real world? When studying business you are taught a variety of subjects including marketing, supply chain management, economics, accounting, and human resource management. You are shown a variety of theories that theoretically should work in the real world and you complete assignments based upon these theories and that's it, you have a degree in business. Unfortunately, far too many essential skills are not taught to us during our time at school, college and university.
How to network, how to plan and run a business meeting, how to form a solid marketing or financial strategy, how to communicate with different audiences, how different departments within a business communicate with each other and why, creating a business plan, the list goes on of real-life scenarios that are alien to postgraduates. Having a part-time job whilst studying is beneficial as you begin to learn the formalities of companies and how they work internally but that is not an option for all.
