If you’re considering a future in Business, EKC Broadstairs College offers experiences that go far beyond the classroom. Our courses are designed to give you unique insights, practical skills, and confidence, in addition to helping you discover what a career in business could look like for you.
If you’re aged 16–19 and exploring your options, studying Business means gaining experiences that make learning engaging, relevant, and unique.
Here’s what makes studying Business at Broadstairs stand out:
Real industry experience at The Yarrow hotel
Our on-site, award-winning hotel, The Yarrow, gives our students the chance to experience a professional workplace first-hand.
From customer service to hospitality operations and management, you’ll see how a successful business runs day to day.
You’ll also discover new teamwork, communication, and organisational skills that are vital for any career.
Pitch your ideas to professionals
Having the confidence to present and pitch is a key part of modern business. At Broadstairs, you’ll get the chance to showcase your own ideas, whether it’s launching a brand, designing a product, or developing an entrepreneurial project.
Industry professionals in these sessions provide constructive feedback, helping you refine your communication style and prepare for real business scenarios.
Work placements that bring learning to life
Placements enable you to apply your knowledge in real organisations and see business in action. Former students have worked in sectors including administration, project support, customer service, and logistics, where they gained insight into workplace expectations and professional habits.
Each placement is a unique opportunity to develop skills employers are looking for, and to discover which areas of business inspire you most.
See business on a national scale
Our organised trips give you the chance to explore the wider business world. One standout example is the Business Show in London, where you can meet industry leaders, attend seminars, explore new technologies, and build professional connections.
Experiencing business at this scale helps you understand how innovation, trends, and networking shape the industry, and gives you perspectives you can’t get in a classroom alone.
Direct access to employers and further study providers
Our Careers Fairs in College bring employers, universities, and apprenticeship providers directly to you. These events allow you to ask questions, explore pathways, and get personalised advice.
From these, you will go away feeling confident about your next steps and understand what it takes to make it into your dream role.
Whether you’re interested in management, entrepreneurship, or exploring how businesses operate across industries, our Business courses provide unique experiences that prepare you for your next step.
