What our Alumni are saying about the program

“The Emerging Leaders Program provided me with the knowledge and understanding of the theories and values of a good leader, and the confidence that I was needing to build in myself. The module topics were all very relevant and applicable and the group projects provided us with the opportunity to put our learnings into practice and exercise our creativity. This program is not just for people in leadership and management roles – anyone can be an effective leader, and I encourage you to be brave and invest in yourself."
