- Thursday, May 25, 2023
Four exceptional undergraduate students pursuing their Business and Accounting BSc degrees at Roehampton Business School have received high praise for their outstanding performance in a recent consultancy project carried out in collaboration with Wandsworth and Richmond Borough Councils' shared services.
Ali Haider, Hanadi Eid, Milena Garsia, and Nadia Ait Zar, all enrolled in the final-year Management Consultancy Project module, joined forces to tackle the challenge of enhancing, modernizing, and promoting the Councils' graduate recruitment program.
Under the expert guidance of their module convener, Tim Hill, an Associate Professor in the esteemed Faculty of Business and Law and a seasoned ex-management consultant, the students wholeheartedly engaged in the task. They meticulously examined various aspects of the application process, identified areas for improvement, and proposed innovative solutions. Notably, their recommendation to create promotional videos highlighting the councils' values and showcasing the experiences of current graduates garnered significant attention.

Expressing her satisfaction with the collaboration, Jan Elkin, the Organisational Development Lead at Wandsworth & Richmond Councils, remarked, “It was great to have the input from Roehampton students and many people within the council came to watch their final presentation. We’re looking forward to working with Roehampton students again in the future.”
The commendable achievements of these diligent undergraduates serve as a testament to the exceptional education and practical experiences offered by Roehampton Business School. The consultancy project has not only contributed to the enhancement of the councils' recruitment program but has also provided valuable real-world exposure and hands-on learning opportunities for the students, preparing them for successful careers in the business world.
