On Thursday 15 and Friday 16 March students studying the BTEC Extended Diploma in Business at NULC visited the JCB visitor centre.During the day, the students were kitted out with headsets and hi-vis vests where they were given a factory tour, a museum tour and watched a film about the history of JCB. During the fascinating factory tour the students got to see how JCB's are made and tested and a tour of the main JCB offices.
The purpose of the visit was to add to the learning that has taken place in the classroom. Students have been studying units including marketing, business structures and supply chain management and business purposes and by visiting JCB they were able to see these business tools in operation.Comment from learner: "Good to see what we had been doing in the classroom in a real business, fascinating to see a product being made."
Claire Dickenson, Assessor in Computing, Accounting & Business at NULC said: "It really was a great trip to show students all the things they have been learning in class and to give them an insight into a potential employer."
