We were delighted to welcome Alem Al-Khamiri to our class last week. He spoke with our students about marketing, setting up your own business, and the key lessons for effective networking. It was a fantastic session. Thanks as always to @Holl_Wallace for the images.

Last week we were delighted to host Sally Murray-Fella who came in to talk to students about the realities of teaching in the West Midlands - the good and the not so good. Students came away really inspired by her stories + the passion with which she spoke about the profession!

This week's 'external' speaker was our very own @reeshistory who came in his guise as a writer to talk to students about productivity, creativity and breaking into the creative industries. He also showed egs. of the kind of edits and feedback he gets from his editors.

For one of our 1st year modules we invite a series of external speakers in to present every week, covering a wide variety of employment sectors to share their experiences and life stories! It is always a popular series, and our latest speaker Sian Campbell was just fantastic.
