Careers

Abstract

Sundridge Park Management Centre has hosted a four‐day residential Insight into Management course for 60 senior school pupils from around the country, organised by the Careers Research and Advisory Centre (CRAC). It was based on a series of highly participative management exercises and provided a unique opportunity to meet young managers from a wide range of major companies in small informed syndicate groups, working together on a series of exercises which illustrated the scope and variety of opportunities available in management. A key component of the course was a business game in which pupil groups established themselves as companies manufacturing and selling domestic heating boilers, culminating in the Business Game Exhibition wherein the companies marketed their boilers with each producing its own exhibition stand and promotional material.
