Learning about budgeting, investments, and financial planning was eye-opening, offering a solid foundation for making informed financial decisions as I embark on my professional journey.
Another noteworthy session was "Career Readiness & Employability Success: 10 Quick Top Tips That Will Help Graduates Get Hired."
