CIMA Business Game - Tues 26th Jan 2016 12 - 1pm 4.07A / 1 - 2pm 3.14
CIMA (the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) would like to offer you the opportunity to attend an interactive Business Game aimed at helping you with your career and giving them an insight into an employer’s assessment centre.
By attending this skills session
you will:
- Use as a practice
session for Employer Assessment Centres
- Gain an opportunity to
use your business skills and find out how this links in to CIMA &
management accountancy
- An opportunity to put
the Business Game on your CV
- Enhance your
employability skills and give you a topic to talk about at interviews
- Walk away with a much
improved understanding of business
The business game is based on
our final exam the CASE Study, you will read through a scenario and then work
in teams to come up with recommendations on how to accelerate the growth of the
company and increase its profitability. It’s very similar to the kind of task
that is run at an employer’s assessment centre and will encourage the use of
skills that employers are looking for. Each group will get feedback and
the winning team will get winning certificates.
An important part of the session
is finding out what employers want and hints and tips on how to impress.
