Business and Economics Trips in the UK
Our business and economics school trips are designed by educational experts to give students a real flavour of the variety of jobs available in the the business world and to deepen their understanding of the curriculum. We’ll offer insights into the real-life challenges facing modern businesses and provide access to a whole range of different enterprises. From having a face to face meeting with start up founders, questioning business leaders on their approach to dealing with COVID-19 to our own pitching workshop plus a whole range of other activities.
It can be difficult to really grapple with how your studies relate in the real world and our business and economics school trips are packed with opportunities to understand how the subject relates in a practical way. Our knowledgeable pre-trip team can put together an itinerary that links to the specific learning goals of the students. We have links to companies, all over the country, and can adapt our trips to a range of curriculum or general topics. If you want to know how sustainability goals intersect with business ones, the impact of the digital age on companies or the response of travel companies to dealing with lockdowns- we’ll have the trip for you. Plus a whole range of other options!
