Purpose: This event is organized to help support students of IT in their pursuit for employment. We hope to cover several routes in to work including
Placement and Internship schemes

The aim is to make this event useful to students in IT at different stages (1st, 2nd and final years) of their respective courses and expect to have students from both campuses attending. Everyone will have something to take from this event.
