Our employability framework: PRACTICE

Employers today want more than strong academic credentials. They want people who think strategically, lead with purpose, and adapt quickly when things change.

At WBS, employability sits at the heart of our teaching and curriculum.

To make sure our students are graduate-ready, we created the PRACTICE Framework. It is our signature way of bridging the gap between theory and action. Developed with our academics and industry partners, it builds the skills, mindset and adaptability that employers expect today and will rely on tomorrow.

Which means you do more than learn about business. You are equipped to shape it.
