This is part of the NWU Career Centre’s services. Guidance is provided to NWU students in the form of group presentations, approximately 50 to 60 minutes each, that assist students in compiling their own CVs. In addition, students are assisted in preparing themselves for job interviews. Post the covid pandemic the presentations were made in person by the career consultant, who used to alternate with the campus liaison officers across the three campuses, now you can access the online training on Efundi.
