5 Ways to Give Your Students More Business Experience

Sometimes it is difficult for students to understand the whole business theory, let alone apply it later in practice. As a teacher, you can help them in making this process easier. In this article, you will find a few ways to do that.

Case studies

Using case studies is a teaching method that involves analyzing certain business situations or problems and looking for ways to solve them. Examples of such situations may include strategic decisions, emergencies, reorganizations, investments and other situations that affect the operation of the organization.

Case studies are a valuable teaching tool, especially in business and management classes. Thanks to this, students can learn from concrete examples that present real business challenges and how to solve them.

Business simulations

Business simulations are an interesting way to teach entrepreneurship and management in a practical way. They consist in creating a virtual reality in which students can play the role of entrepreneurs and make decisions about running a business.

They are an interesting way to engage students more. They enable them to learn from their own mistakes and experiences, which is much more valuable than just listening to theories.

Business podcasts

Through podcasts students can learn business basics without having to commit the time to sit down and read. They can listen to business-related podcasts while exercising, commuting, or when they run errands. This way they are able to learn about business while going through their normal routine.

To find some business-related podcasts for your students, you can go to any podcast app, browse by category, and select “business.” You can also search for a particular podcast by name.

Internships

Internships are a great way to learn business basics because students gather hands-on experience and they do not need to commit to a full-time job for a longer period of time. When they are at the beginning of their careers, an internship is a perfect way to gain valuable insight, work experience, and skills that will help them succeed in the business world.

Students should apply for positions at businesses that are similar in size and focus to what they are interested in – this way they will be able to make the most out of the internship.

Webinars

All you need to do to find webinars, is to search for them online. There are thousands of options available, including lectures performed by college and graduate school professors and webinars put on by successful business professionals. Some business organizations and business programs at universities also put on digital conferences that can be watched through a live feed, or recorded for future access. A quick Google search will help your students find out about different events, usually with instructions on how to access the presentations.

While some require payment, there are a lot of recordings you can find for absolutely no charge.
