Experienced consultants and managerial staff from Arvato Systems, alongside CeRiMa staff, guided students through the training event. At this year's event, in the light of digitalization, students looked at risk factors for the traditional business models used by small retailers, retail groups, delivery services, sea freight services and IT service providers. Within the framework of the event, participants had the opportunity to share and improve their professional knowledge. Feedback sessions gave students an opportunity to demonstrate presentation and communication skills.
