Lead, Teach, Learn: Pixl Empowering Students and Strengthening Community Ties

Nov 20, 2023 | Updates

Pixl Evolution proudly supports the community through knowledge-sharing initiatives at Longdean School and Oxford Brookes University.

Empowering Students at Oxford Brookes University:

Our ETP (Event Technology Partners) President, Paul Hutton‘s recent visit to Oxford Brookes as a visiting fellow highlights our commitment to student development. Focusing on Event Management, Hospitality, and Tourism, Paul engaged students through insightful lectures and discussions, shedding light on Pixl’s operations and talent acquisition strategies. 

As the inaugural speaker, Paul, playfully referred to as the “guinea pig,” addressed postgraduate students on October 18th. Topics included Pixl’s initiatives like Coil and past placement programs. His midday lecture, “How to Articulate Your Strategy,” emphasised the importance of clear business communication to a diverse audience of students and lecturers. The day concluded with an Alumni gathering, where Paul shared Pixl’s growth challenges and discussed the Help to Grow: Management program, highlighting our active role in supporting smaller companies and contributing to the broader business community.

Preparing Longdean School Students for Success:

Furthering our commitment to nurturing future professionals, our HR and Academic Programs Manager, Tiffany Green, recently visited Longdean School to support students in their workforce transition. Tiffany offered invaluable feedback on CVs, enhancing professional profiles, sharing her expert guidance for job interviews equipping students with the tools needed for career success. 

Simultaneously, both Tiffany and Paul’s visits not only strengthens our bond with Oxford Brookes University and Longdean School but also demonstrates our dedication to shaping future event management, hospitality, and tourism industry leaders and contributing to essential skill development for students to successfully transition into the professional world.
