What is a Webinar?
A Webinar is a LIVE online event where students can log in to listen to a panel of hosts from various companies. The hosts will typically deliver an interactive PowerPoint - style presentation, often using a webcam so that you can see who is talking.
Attendees at a Webinar students are able to put forward their questions directly to the panel by using an MSN-style chat box.
Students can watch the LIVE presentation in groups or individually, undoubtedly finding out invaluable information that will help them to STAND OUT in the application process.
