L3 Business Studies

The course explores issues relevant to the successful running of a business (change management, quality and innovation). The course incorporates a visit to a large NZ business and also draws on outside speakers to provide first-hand insights. Students work closely with outside mentors who provide direction on aspects of their business activities and students also participate in a Dragon’s Den event in which they present their business ideas to potential outside investors.

The students will be presented with exceptional opportunities to engage actively in the Ernst and Young Workshops, a collaborative effort between YES and Ernst and Young. These workshops are centred around entrepreneurship, finances, and marketing, offering invaluable insights from experienced industry leaders. Furthermore, the students can also opt for the enriching experience of participating in the AUT Shadow a Leader program.

Glenfield College works closely with the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) which provides a proven and successful framework within which the business activity is undertaken.
