 The event was designed to help students develop essential enterprise and employability skills while gaining insight into different career pathways.
 
During the session, students rotated between tables and held short conversations with professionals representing sectors including finance, engineering, healthcare, technology, marketing, and entrepreneurship. This fast-paced format encouraged students to introduce themselves confidently, ask thoughtful questions, and learn about the skills and experiences required in various professions.
