I have booked to go to the WorkFest held in The Atrium at De Havilland Campus on October 17th. This event is specifically for graduates and/or students looking for placements.

I am looking forward to seeing which companies are going to attend this year's fair. Bibliography Uni of Hertfordshire - Careers and Employment.
