The students actively engaged with the companies ‘present’ and more than 100 students participated in one of the sessions.
Topics covered included, What overseas secondment opportunities do the firms offer in light of Covid-19, is the company still offering vacation work during this time and if so, how will it work and how can students apply? Aside from academics, what does a company look for in a potential candidate?
“I was thrilled that there was absolutely no gap in the value that was taken away compared to a physical careers fair. I found the careers fair very informative and I appreciate the time put in by the people involved to help us engage with the companies,” said third year IIE Bachelor of Accounting student, Juane’ Greeff.
