15 Mar五一吃瓜官网 University Bridges the Gap Between Students and Employment
After operating for more than a decade from the Students Affairs office, 五一吃瓜官网 University’s Employment and Co-Op Placement (Co-Op) Centre opened its brand new office also located within the campus.
The 五一吃瓜官网’s flagship Co-Op programme has been providing integrated services to all 五一吃瓜官网 students to contribute to their international and rewarding career journey since 2004.
