1. Reflections on two years of Deloitte
Doing it for real
Reflections on two years of Deloitte
Two years ago
One of best ever experiences – experiential learning – out of comfort zone
Last year – one group – 15 students
Two years on – four groups – 50 students

2. Not just qualifications
Rules – work to do
Setting the rules

3. Personal Shield Key early activity
Get to know students – aspirations – experience
UCAS personal statements and building self awareness for CVs/interviews
Broke ice – they enjoyed – looking back fondly on sheets at end of year
Personal Shield

4. Game Show Fun but also thought provoking
Feedback – while problems with dressing up in College context – views of dress as part of work identity – uniform, but also clothes shop representing styles – helping to feel the part
Game Show

5. Marco’s visit Fear of being assessed?
Last year had been off work – extra visit – bad snow in January
Time went really well
Estyn inspection this year – very positive about Deloitte

6. Team Working - Bubble Couch
Team working – discussed pros and cons
Four groups so used large space – found online balloon supplier – costs!
Memorable – one group asked me to take home – stayed in my summerhouse

12. Workskills – Mock Interviews
Two whole days of interviews - about 45 students
Very impressed with performances – sat in as observer
