What Series 1 Participants Say…

I enjoyed this program more than anticipated because of how interactive it was. We were encouraged to share our ideas free of hesitation, which immensely promoted our learning, networking, and communication skills!

One of the many things I enjoyed about this program was that all the mentors and instructors made everyone feel comfortable and put a lot of effort into engagement from all students, and the concepts learned are valuable.

I particularly enjoyed the program's hands-on approach, allowing me to apply the concepts and frameworks learned in real-world scenarios. The interactive nature of the program, including case studies and practical exercises, made the learning experience engaging and applicable to future endeavours.

I liked that there were guest speakers who brought in their own insight into the class. Those were helpful to learn about different careers and career paths. I also liked when the class had discussions as it helped me learn from others and participate.
