Event overview
COVID-19 has caused significant disruption to Australian businesses, requiring extraordinary government intervention to stave off mass corporate insolvency and unemployment. But does this crisis present an opportunity for insolvency and turnaround professionals? In this interactive panel session, four Griffith Alumni will discuss their entry into the profession, their work during COVID-19, as well as the potential business and graduate job opportunities in a COVID world. Students and industry alike will be able to ask the panel questions and network following the panel session.
This event also serves as the official launch of the Insolvency Law course at Griffith University.
