Our students had the opportunity to work on a real-life project for Sani/Ikos Group, an innovative and fast-growing group of luxury resorts in unique beachfront locations in the Mediterranean A rewarding learning experience: application of knowledge in the ‘real-world’ while working in close cooperation with business experts Undergraduate students of the Business Administration and Economics Department of CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, had the opportunity to get first-hand field experience by working on a real-life project with Sani/Ikos Group, an innovative and fast-growing group of luxury resorts in unique beachfront locations in the Mediterranean. This invaluable learning opportunity featured the presentation of the outcomes of their projects together with an unforgettable company visit to Sani Resort in Chalkidiki on Friday 31 May! Students gained invaluable insights into the resort's global success, driven by meticulous attention to detail, passionate hospitality, innovation, and environmental stewardship. They also had the opportunity to present the outcome of their practicum projects. The tour provided a first-hand look at Sani Resort's commitment to exceeding expectations. This company visit, part of third-year action learning projects supervised by Dr. Giovanni Oscar Serafini, offered a unique opportunity for students to learn from and engage with industry leaders. This project was undertaken as part of the Practicum, a key component of all Bachelor's programmes in the Business Department.The Practicum provides students with an opportunity to learn new skills, work closely with professionals from various industry sectors, build employability skills and competencies, and have a rewarding learning experience during their studies at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus. Special thanks to the Sani/Ikos Group We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to the Sani/Ikos Group team for their openness in sharing their best practices and for their exceptional hospitality during our student visit to Sani Resort in Chalkidiki. What is the Practicum? Business Practicums are supervised action learning projects designed to provide students with an opportunity to manage a project for an organization (“participating company-client”). They aim to successfully bridge academic knowledge and the development of professional skills and employability. They are team-based and normally delivered over a semester requiring students to devote an average of 150-200 hours in total (depending on the nature of the project). The student work is complemented by classroom-based teaching/mentoring. The precise nature of the project can vary enormously depending on both the nature and the needs of the organisation. Participating companies can be large corporations or small local businesses. The common denominator is a genuine need for help with a problem or appreciation of the added value of some independent research beyond the resources or capabilities of the participating company. This may be a general management problem, a marketing issue, a finance matter or any number of specific challenges.
