Our Work with Industry partners has helped mould and develop our degrees, providing students with industry powered teaching that gives them the best skills and experience to excel in their careers.

This also gives you the employers the chance to customise a degree course to the needs of your business and the skills you require in your business. This can help you business since you could help nurture talent to specialise in a particular field of work.

We take the lead in designing the modules so that are as relevant to industry as possible, bringin university level teaching into your workplace whereby students develop to the fullest extent possible. Industry Partners have the opportunity to get involved through taking the lead in business-focussed workshops and giving guest lectures.

We regularly run half day and whole day events both on site and externally, giving out students exposure to the inner workings of a real business environment, including business culture and employee relations. These opportunities are not only beneficial for the students, but they also give employers the chance to have a first look at upcoming talent who could potentially contribute to your business.

Students are often tasked with extended research projects, helping them to develop vital business skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Often partners can contribute to these projects through interviews and data collection but these projects give partners the chance to see what students are fully capable off.

Bespoke short courses are schemes co-created by both Pearson College London with input from your company to produce a programme totally dedicated to your company designed to upskill current employees. This opportunity gives your company the opportunity to focus entirely on a specific area that your organisation may be seeing difficulties in.  

Industry feedback is a valuable piece in the puzzle, giving a young person a role model and influencer, who can help shape their progress and career trajectory. This can include basic soft skills such as CV writing, time management and presentation techniques. It can also extend to more complex skills such as becoming an effective collaborator, or winning and influencing. Finally, access for students to networking opportunities provided by industry mentors is a key element for their career development.

Here at Pearson College London we are determined to provide industry insight giving our students the motivation and inspiration to go on and excel in their desired field of work. We welcome our partners to help support our students and guide them down a path leading to success in the future.
