We're wrapping up the last Friday of February on a high note here at Hertfordshire Business School ??? Yesterday, our placement student Farirai Musoni, organised an event with our fantastic alumnus, global keynote speaker, and current star of BBC's The Apprentice, Frederick Afrifa.

Frederick shared invaluable insights and advice for students, leaving everyone feeling motivated and empowered ?? In his words, 'If you keep going, you keep growing!' ?? Our Elevate group then enjoyed exclusive access to Frederick at a bespoke dinner in the University of Hertfordshire Enterprise Hub – a fantastic opportunity to gain further wisdom from one of our own. A massive thank you to Frederick for giving his time, to all the staff who supported the event, and to Fari – a true asset to the Business School - and who excelled in event management, social promotions, and public speaking. #UHBusinessSchool #TheApprentice #MotivationalTalk #StudentSuccess #FutureLeaders Damian Ward Dr Joel Carlton Lynne Stevens Issidora Paleologos Hilary Stephens Ray Cobb Sara de Sousa Bobby Govind Rex Obeng Gilly Wilkinson Namrita Sunner Ellie Marcangelo University of Hertfordshire

At Hertfordshire Business School, we are committed to providing our students with real-world insights that bridge the gap between theory and practice ?? Recently, students from our Human Resource Management programme had the opportunity to engage with two professionals who brought the world of HR to life. We were delighted to welcome Lakshmi Raghavachari, an experienced HR Business Partner, who offered a firsthand look at 'a day in the life' of an HR practitioner. She shared invaluable insights into the challenges, highlights, and evolving nature of her role. We were also joined by Rebecca Healy, Visiting Lecturer, who provided an informative overview of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Students gained a clearer understanding of the value of CIPD membership—both in terms of professional development and career advancement—and how it aligns with best practices in HR. The session was not only an opportunity to learn from industry professionals but also to gather key insights to support their final assignment: "An HR Practitioner – An Individual Reflection." Many students left the session feeling inspired and more equipped to explore potential careers in human resources ?? A huge thank you to our guest speakers for sharing their expertise and for supporting our mission to develop the next generation of HR professionals! #HRInsights #BusinessEducation #CIPD #HumanResources #LearningInAction Sarah Wynne Lynne Stevens
