You'll be able to get the inside scoop from professionals working in the field, representing a wide range of firms in different sectors. You'll also have the opportunity to practice your networking skills, which will be a valuable experience as you move forward along your career path.

Ace Your Career Case Conference

This is an exciting 2-day conference where participants (2nd- and 3rd-year Management & Commerce students) conduct a SWOT analysis on themselves, learn how to prepare an effective business introduction and also practice these new skills while getting the inside scoop on careers from industry professionals in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and other business roles.

The final Ace Your Career Case Conference was held in January 2009.
