SOBA Career Day

The School of Business and Accounting conducted a Career Day on Thursday, 28 March 2013 at the SCPJ Jalan 223 campus to assist the graduating students to be gainfully employed upon graduating from the College.

Representatives from three companies held talks to provide information regarding their respective companies and the entry positions available in their organisations.
