Connect your students to the future through educational storytelling
As an educational institution (vocational, applied sciences, or university), you face the challenge of preparing students for a rapidly changing job market. The gap between theory and practice needs to shrink. You’re looking for inspiring real-world cases from companies that breathe innovation and are willing to open their doors to education.
At the same time, you want to showcase the unique value of your school or program: how you shape a future-proof economy and how you collaborate with industry.
That’s where Business Channel One (BC1®) comes in.
BC1® brings education and innovative companies together through visual storytelling. We provide real stories in film, about students, teachers, and entrepreneurs building the future together.
