OUR EMPLOYABILITY PRACTICE FRAMEWORK
Success isn’t just about what you know – it’s about how you apply it. At WBS, employability is at the core of our teaching and curriculum. To ensure our students are truly graduate-ready, we’ve developed the PRACTICE framework, which bridges the gap between knowledge and action. This means you don’t just learn about business – you’re equipped to shape it. Designed in collaboration with academic and industry leaders, it embeds the skills, mindset, and adaptability that graduates and businesses need now, as well as in the future. From critical thinking to commercial awareness, from leadership to innovation, we focus on what matters most: developing students who bring fresh ideas, solve problems creatively, and act with integrity. Whether it’s making decisions under pressure or leading with confidence and accountability, we equip you with the skills to hit the ground running – wherever your career takes you.
