A Student-Led Initiative
Students Ask. Business Leaders Share. Everyone Learns.
What if students could learn directly from the people building businesses, leading organisations, and making important decisions?
Stated Student Voices aims to bring students and business leaders together through thoughtful, student-led conversations. Students will have opportunities to explore real business journeys, ask meaningful questions, understand the thinking behind important decisions, and learn from experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
The goal is simple: help students become better thinkers, more confident communicators, and more informed future professionals.
Students can express their interest in becoming hosts, while educators and institutions can nominate students who would benefit from the opportunity.
Selected students will be guided through guest research, question preparation, and interview planning before the conversation.
Students will have the opportunity to host conversations with business leaders, explore practical experiences, and share key learning points with a wider audience.
Participation will depend on guest availability, programme suitability, and selection. An expression of interest does not guarantee selection or a hosting opportunity.
How businesses begin, grow, overcome challenges, and adapt.
How leaders build teams, manage responsibilities, and make difficult decisions.
How new ideas, technologies, and changing markets shape business.
What professionals learn from setbacks, uncertainty, mistakes, and achievements.
We welcome expressions of interest from curious, motivated students who want to learn from business leaders and develop their communication, research, critical-thinking, and interviewing skills.
Students from universities, colleges, business schools, entrepreneurship programmes, and other educational institutions may express their interest.
Prior interviewing experience is not essential. Preparation, curiosity, thoughtful questions, and a willingness to learn are what matter. Educators and institutions may also recommend students for consideration.
Conversations may feature entrepreneurs, startup founders, CEOs, senior executives, investors, family business leaders, technology professionals, and experts from diverse industries.
Each conversation will offer students an opportunity to explore the experiences, decisions, challenges, and lessons behind a professional journey.
The programme will develop as suitable guests and opportunities become available.
These are the kinds of professionals the programme hopes to feature. Individual guests are confirmed and announced separately.
Hold structured conversations with distinguished professionals.
Develop research, communication, and critical-thinking skills.
Understand the decisions and lessons behind professional journeys.
Prepare, host, and reflect on a real conversation.
Selected student hosts may be remunerated for funded sessions, subject to programme terms.
Hosting opportunities depend on guest availability, programme suitability and selection. Participation does not imply internships, employment, certificates or academic credit.
Your email application will open with a draft. Your expression of interest is sent only when you send the email. There is no charge to express interest, and student participation is separate from sponsorship: sponsors do not control student questions, conclusions or selection.
