ship with EICC gives students vital insight and professional knowledge and adds “immense weight to stu- dents’ employment kudos”.
DURING THE work placement, stu- dents spend time in all the opera- tional areas of the centre, working alongside departmental managers, allowing them to get a managerial perspective of the organisation. Students can also choose to spend more time in the areas that interest them the most to develop a greater depth of understanding.

delivered 45 billion meeting min- utes in 2018 (compared to 20bn the previous year); with these figures making it easy to think we’re shift- ing away from face-to-face interac- tions in our working lives.
