Corporate Day celebrations in universities provide students with opportunities to interact first-hand with corporate employees, recruiters, and corporate executives. These events are a great way to explore diverse companies and find ones that match students’ interests, skills, and potentials.
It is also an opportunity to network with some key decision-makers within organizations, see first-hand cutting-edge technology and best practices in industry, and allow students make the necessary preparation toward practical application of the knowledge in industry.
The School of Business’ annual programme, organised in every second semester of the academic year has always been characterised by both exciting and solemn events.
