TAVEC Week and Conference Agenda
In only one week, student groups became a task force and had to develop their own employer brand and recruitment campaign for the fictitious TAVEC Company which is an internationally operating tech company developing virtual collaboration tools. The TAVEC Company is offering an international graduate trainee program. Student groups had to make recommendations to the board to support recruitment activities for this program. Finally, the task force had to pitch their campaign during a 15 minutes presentation on the virtual trans-atlantic student conference.
