“How the Leadership Academy supercharged my employability”

The Leadership Academy has been incredibly beneficial to my future career. One of the major experiences was when I was sent to London to attend a B2B software sales and marketing expo to develop my understanding of the industry and to network to gain contacts for my future career.

The Leadership Academy has been incredibly beneficial to my future career. One of the major experiences was when I was sent to London to attend a B2B software sales and marketing expo to develop my understanding of the industry and to network to gain contacts for my future career.

Additionally, the Leadership Academy helped me progress through a 6 stage of interview, alongside my studies and assignments, to land my ideal job at the company I wanted to work for. 

The consistent meetings I’ve attended has developed and honed a variety of other skills. I have been able to demonstrate the skills I already had through courses and certificates.

Having the opportunity to develop myself and my skills to boost my employability has given me the confidence to know that when I graduate, I will feel fully prepared for my career and the real world. The work I did in the Leadership Academy supported what I learned in my course and with the extra qualifications, it helped fill out my CV.
