Student Testimonials

Rossella P. - Italy Digital Angels - Copywriter

The meetings with companies not only put me back in the game, literally out of my comfort zone, but also pushed me to know my limits and strengths. And not least, it is thanks to the Career Fair that I found my new job, playing a card that in another condition perhaps would not have been so lucky.

Nicolò D. - Italy Casa Club - Co-Founder

Among the topics covered, I think it is of extreme importance, as it is always too little addressed, Team Working, the ability to work in a team that we are honing right now with the Capstone, the final project of the Master's program that sees us working in a group of 4 people on our Start Up " TheCasaClub " born this year during the RBS4E program.

Maria Vittoria V. - Italy Injenia – Key Account Manager
