Top 3 Ideas
Most Practical
Involve AIESEC student organisation to give a presentations of possibilities. Working with the largest student organisation in the world will
mean a lot of different accounts of what people’s live are like after university and what are the options..
Most Disruptive
Compettion for ‘Ultimate Graduate’. Allow people to say what they would do if they had an amount of money. Best idea gets to be
recreated. This could be anything from a work placement to a travel idea or business plan.
Favourite
Create a ‘So, you’re an adult...what now?’ guide that people can look through. Modern style. Also app. This would be laid out in a
simple way, asking one quesetion at a time, then forming a profile of what someone is like and likely to be drawn to. I like this as it adds
a modern feature (app), that acutally could work. It’s my favourite as it’s quite different and allows for easy expansion and can be easily
accessed by most.
