Time for Business
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants will be delivering a free workshop for SICS on business games. It will take place on Tuesday 15th March, at Stewart House.
This two hour session will give you the chance to try out the sort of business role plays that are often required at assessment centres and interviews for professional jobs. It will put you ahead of the crowd when applying for highly competitive graduate opportunities and will also give you an appreciation of what employers are looking for when they ask you to show "commercial awareness".
Use our online booking system to reserve your place.
