This week we are continuing on with our Finance Project, and we also have three guest presenters coming to visit. Guest presenters are an integral part of this course as they share all kinds of expertise that is best taught by people working in the field. They can be contacts if you have an issue at work, or resources if you're interested in learning more. There are some parts of the curriculum that are met mostly through specific guests, so being at school for presentations is very important!
