The Professionals in the Classroom project was set up by members of the Faculty of Economics and Business to bring students into closer contact with the professional world through talks given by professionals.

It coordinates lecturers and professionals who are interested in organising a presentation on professional practice for students during class time.

The main aim is to increase student motivation for courses. The project also aims to:

• Enable students to see closer ties between what they are learning and professional practice
• Offer advice on possible career pathways for economists
• Introduce renowned economists, entrepreneurs and businesses or organisations from the Balearic Islands and the rest of Spain
  
• Strengthen collaboration between businesses and the university.
