The IIE’s Varsity College Sandton hosted its first 2023 Career Expo for full-time students and graduates.

Students explored and enjoyed the day as many companies presented themselves and showed them what they have to offer in terms of part-time and full-time work once they are ready to embark on their careers.

“Today I now know that one can use their law degree to be part of the SAPS; the career event was very informative, and I appreciate the time put in by the people involved to help us engage with the companies.”
