Creating an audience persona as part of their market research
Brainstorming a story concept that will hook the audience
Designing a lead character that will resonate with the audience
Storyboarding the concept
Pitching the concept
Who it’s for
Undergraduate and master’s students, particularly those doing degrees related to business and politics. You’ll need a minimum of 9 students to participate.
What students say about it
‘An incredibly valuable experience that taught me a great deal about the assessment centre process, group dynamics, and how to contribute effectively under observation.’ Hugo, Oxford Brookes University, BA Marketing
Why I should consider it for my students
This simulation is designed as a job interview ‘assessment centre.’ If you want to give your students the chance to practise their teamwork and communication skills under observation by potential employers, this is the simulation to choose.
