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.
- Professionalism – Being ready for any challenge: equipped, flexible and reliable. Delivering consistent results through smart planning, resourcefulness, and adaptability – thriving in any culture and environment.
- Responsibility – Being responsible for your actions, ensuring high standards, and being ethical. It requires transparency, consideration of impact, and building trust.
- Analytical – Analysis is the skill of gathering and assessing information and extracting insights from data to make informed decisions. It involves deconstructing problems, spotting patterns, and evaluating evidence.
- Critical Thinking – The ability to evaluate information objectively to make reasoned judgments and see things from a new perspective. It involves questioning assumptions and challenging beliefs without bias or distortion.
- Teamwork – Working with others to achieve goals. Effective leadership and team cohesion ensures clear communication and support, creating an inclusive space where all contributions are valued.
- Innovation and Creativity – Driving original thinking and creative solutions. Generating innovative ideas and implementing plans that leads to fresh perspectives, and efficient solutions to drive continuous improvement.
- Communication – Ensuring the effective exchange of ideas and information. Conveying the message clearly and listening actively, regardless of cultural or linguistic background.
- Emotional Awareness – Recognising and sharing emotions, appreciating cultural differences, and managing your own feelings to respond with compassion.
