Angela James, attending the Level 5 Global Majority Empowerment ProgrammeThis course has been highly effective because it's not just another generic leadership programme. Its focus on the Global Majority made it uniquely impactful, allowing us to benefit from sharing our stories, building a sense of community, and offering moral support to one another. The course tutors, learning materials, and content were all excellent.
Personally, I was able to apply what I learned immediately, which helped me get shortlisted for multiple opportunities and secure two senior-level job offers. Additionally, I’ve incorporated the lessons into my daily work, particularly in areas like people management, strategic planning, and problem-solving.
