Students from the BA (Hons) Public Services Management and BA (Hons) Business and Management courses at Loughborough College participated in a question and answer session with local Member of Parliament, Jeevun Sandher. The event, held on Thursday 8th October 2026, focused on the realities of life in the public eye and the challenges of serving a varied community.
During the session, Jeevun Sandher shared advice on developing confidence in public speaking. He stated, “You have to fake it until you make it, and keep trying. You might not get it right first time, but as Vincent van Gogh said, ‘Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures’. Even someone like Barack Obama will have practiced and rehearsed his speeches for months in advance, because you have to keep trying.”
The degrees in Business and Management and Public Services Management at Loughborough College are noted for their comprehensive learning approach and practical opportunities designed to prepare students for future careers.
Harriet Burt, Lecturer in Higher Education Business and Management at Loughborough College, commented on the event's value. She said, “This was a great opportunity for students across two different courses to hear from someone in the public eye whose career takes them across a variety of responsibilities and service users. Jeevun offered some great advice around the challenges associated with communicating with a diverse population, and the students were engaged and keen to learn from his experiences.”
The Loughborough College Group provides a range of degree and higher education programmes across its Brooksby, Loughborough, and Melton campuses, in collaboration with awarding bodies including Loughborough University and De Montfort University.
