More than 70 potential high school students attended the IBCE Day on Feb 7, 2015. To start off, Dr John Lai, Program Director, gave a program overview, followed by alumni from various industries unveiling their average working day to give the audience some inspirations on potential career options. The program was further enriched by a thought-provoking mock case study and an interview skill workshop where participants found it informative and useful. Representatives from the program Partner University, University of South Carolina, were invited to introduce their home university to potential students. Towards the end of the program, the mix and mingling session enabled participants to interact with current students and alumni to learn about the program features and characteristics in more details.
Extract of Participants’ Feedback:
“I like the Mock Case Study and the Mix and Mingle sessions the most. They allowed me to gain a better insight of the program.”
“Thank you for organizing such a beneficial workshop. It did gave me an insight into the graduates’ career path and the program itself.”
