INTRODUCTION
Graduate challenge is a program designed by various colleges and universities in order to
promote the students to participate in extra curricular activities (Benson and Morgan, 2016).
These challenges and competitions helps the students to enhance their communication as well as
social skills. It provides a platform to the students to showcase their learning and knowledge
about how businesses actually work in the market environment (Evansand Richardson, 2017).
This report encompasses the various challenges given by the universities during graduation
period such as presentation challenge, hotel challenge, T-shirt challenge, debate challenge etc. in
order to promote the skills and capabilities of the students. These challenges allows the students
to identify the areas where they excel and the areas they need to work upon in the future. These
graduate challenges can be termed as hurdles that a student needs to overcome in order achieve
good grades from their respective departments of specialisation and gain appreciation among
their peers.
MAIN BODY
CHALLENGES
T-Shirt Challenge
It was a challenge wherein the students were supposed to design and develop an
innovative and creative logo for the t shirts in order to promote and advertise the same in the
market place. In order to market the t shirt among the target consumers, we had to analyse and
examine the current market trends and situations. We had to consider the choices and preferences
of the target consumers in order to capture their interest and attention towards our offerings. A
predetermined budget i.e. £200 was allotted to us and its was task for us to give a proper
projection of how we incorporated the same in our operations. Our team was able to do the
challenge effectively and within the limited time and budget. This challenge helped me to better
my team building skills and learn how to work effectively within the teams. It enhanced by
communication skills and also helped me to showcase my creativity. This challenge has to taught
me about how to create demand for the products and services in the marketplace and how to
carry out the business operations within a limited budget.
