Dear all
this PowerPoint here covers the entire Unit 2 content that we have studied the last nine weeks.
After you have done the Formula test for the fourth time today can I suggest that you use it in partnership with a method of testing it.
If each person in the class creates a method for testing each topic that means that you have many tests as well as the PowerPoint to revise.
Other resources can be found on the student shared drive below:
R:\Subjects\Key Stage 4\Business\BTEC L2\Year 11.12 2018-2019\unit 2 finance revision
You need to do more than PASS this exam on Friday during period 1 and I don't see you again after today this week.
All best wishes and good luck

Venue: Conference Room
The wonderful world of business finance & banking
Our very own Mrs Goss and Mr Batsford take you into the wonderful world of finance, including banking and investments, and the vital role that this sector plays in the economy and the successful careers that it can offer.
Mr Batsford worked in the City for over 20 years, starting on the graduate training scheme at Citibank, moving to Barclays Global Investors, then M&G Investments before changing career to become a teacher. He held a variety of roles including quantitative analyst, fund manager and client-facing investment director. He is a firm advocate of the financial services sector and the vital role it plays in the UK economy.
Mrs Goss took a slightly different route. With the option to take a degree in business finance or take up the offer of an apprenticeship she chose the latter and developed her fantastic skill set on the job. In her own words "I never looked back" o for those not sure if University is for them why not listen again to the words of wisdom on the video clip below above and take up the challenge below. You never know the company might make you an unconditional offer and take you on after your A levels or GCSE's
Challenge: Research a sector that you would like to work in, banking, accountancy or investments and then find a Higher Apprentice vacancy and apply for it!

Thinking of a career in Engineering STEM Ambassador Dr Nikolaos
Demiridis would like to inspire you into the how and why!
Nikolaos’s background in his own words: “Hello! I am a Chartered Civil Engineer (MICE CEng), Project Management Professional (PMP®) with extensive cross-functional experience in the engineering and delivery of integrated rail systems - from tramways and metros, to high speed mainline and heavy haul railways. My experience has been gained through exposure within both the industry and academia, including applied research & development. Railways and engineering are only two of my passions; which, obviously, I turned both into profession! Naturally a bit of a restless spirit, I am always on the lookout for a new challenge, as long as it helps pushing my boundaries a bit further each time! I enjoy mentoring and coaching younger professionals and have been leading diverse teams internationally for more than ten years now and assisting fellow engineers with their professional development. For me, promoting STEM is promoting a sustainable future for the next generations, the ones we borrowed from the world we live in and enabling them to make it better.” He currently works as an Associate Technical Director for Arcadis UK Ltd.
prospective applicants could apply at www.arcadis.com.
Internships usually appear on the system around end of Q1 (usually March).

Meet Jason, the entrepreneeur who wants to SHARE with you everything you need to know about setting up your own business and making money your own way
This is Jason Greystone - serial entrepreneur!
Since starting his first business at 22 years old, Jason Graystone has successfully built and run multi million pound businesses both in the service sector and online.
Coming from a working class family with little education, Jason embarked on a journey of self development from an early age which he says played a fundamental part of his success.
Jason believes that if you have the right mindset and adopt the right personality traits, you can use the same formula to achieve anything you want in life; and it’s this attitude that allowed him to achieve financial freedom by the time he was 31.
Jason believes that everyone deserves to live an inspired life. “We are better people when we have time to contribute towards what we are passionate about. We can solve meaningful problems and be rewarded and fulfilled at the same time.”
Challenge: To set yourself up as an entrepreneur watch the 25 minute life changing video above and answer the questions at the end.
