I will lead on negotiating with Future Students about improving the landing page . I have already received some suggestions relating to navigation and website metrics we need from Lauren- all other suggestions welcome.

We need a refresh of the current sessions being offered to reflect changes in the subject group courses, team membership, what would be attractive to Schools / Colleges and changes in what young people relate to. Callum is holding a focus group with some year 12/13 students next week ( thanks Callum), so we can add that intel to the mix. I am reluctant to allocate tasks to specific people or overly influence the content of the outreach, as ultimately you will be the ones delivering it. So I am hoping that the session today will trigger those conversations that will generate ideas and lead to content.

Ideally, I would like us to have the outline of the sessions for the improved website by end of May / beginning June. Let’s see what happens organically – if I need to be more focussed in allocating tasks, then I will do so.

We need an upfront interaction where prospective students and parents are engaged in a high energy “something” which spans the 3 courses.

As the next Open Day is 17th June, I am sure we will be asked about our plans all too soon.

I was thinking of tangibility here ... So people have something useful to take away with them that they can use later on ...

Money isn’t everything, but it takes the sting out of being poor.

In this session we look at why people are rich, and what those of us who weren’t born rich can do to catch up. Specifically, we can show how people make money from:

(nb, this is my list, others can +/-)

Investing in human capital (including IRR of going to USW -can be calculated from Power BI?)

Investing in other capital / Gearing (comparison of what firms can do and what people can do)

Founding a firm (we can set one up for each school; costs = £15).

Playing the ‘stock market’ (can be done live with crypto; costs = couple of $, but lecturer needs an account, which these days means KYC faff if you don't have one).

Creating intellectual property (can be interactive -I can do inventions, inc. how to do one + have a look at those of Elon Musk. Alternatively, others may prefer to get students to design Trade Marks/logos, possibly for firm created previously).

Govt subsidised investing and grants (Green tech. Patent Box; see above. Pensions; which might not be of much interest to youngsters, but is worth raising their awareness of).

Influencing (I personally know nothing about this, but we have had students who do it that we could point to).
