You are invited to be part of a personalised workshop at Griffith University's Nathan campus with Service Learning and Jimmy Bayssari
Heightened trends in university mobility departments and governments deploying students on short-term overseas programs highlights the necessity for organisations to inherently practice prevention and risk management.
Jimmy Bayssari, Director at Project Everest Ventures will share strategy on practising prevention and risk mitigation as part of company culture, rather than just ticking a box.
