Case Study - Fred Esere Manchester Business School
Fred Esere is studying BSc (Hons) ITMB with Industrial Experience and completed his placement year with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
Why Did You Choose to Study Your Chosen Course? I wanted a degree that would give me not only a solid understanding of fundamental technological concepts, but which would also equip me with core business skills, that would set me up to effectively utilise technology for business purposes.
The deciding factor for me was the level of employer involvement. Organisations that are known for being the best at what they do were personally involved in designing the ITMB course. In the first year, we had industry experts delivering weekly guest lectures on the latest technologies they were working on.
The projects I would embark on, the events I would attend, the things I would learn and do, left me with an offer I could not refuse.
Can You Tell Us More About Your Placement Role? My role at LOCOG was primarily concerned with the management and delivery of technology systems to support the operation of a designated area within the Athletes Village. I also worked closely with other functional areas to ensure that the technology services they required were captured and delivered as expected.
What Skills Did You Gain From your placement year? My project management and delivery skills developed greatly, partly due to having key deliverables and an unmovable deadline to work towards. I also learned to work with stability under a high degree of pressure.
What is The Best Thing About... Your Course? The way it has prepared me for life after university, empowering me with the fundamental skills that I need to be able to do anything I would like to do.
