Royal Holloway Year in Business Employer evening: Monday October 1st

On October 1^st we welcomed our 2^nd year Year in Business students and a number of companies offering placement positions in 2019/20. The format of the evening allowed the students to rotate around a number of zones talking informally to the companies as well as the Placement Team, Careers and a number of returning Year in Business students.There was a buzzy feel to the evening and we also received positive feedback from the Companies attending the event.
