I have learnt so many soft skills such as public speaking acrosss various offices and senior members, being able to work as a team, negotiate & communciate with various colleagues in leading various projects and intiatatives within the firm.

I have led the Ethncity and Culuture diversity initative in birmingham, hosting culutral events and creating an environment for acceptance and inclusion.

The scheme is well structured and clear direction on what is expected to be achieved at the end of the scheme and understanding of the progression after completion.

Our university provider ensure we have quarterly meetings including our line managers to discuss progress on Work, University and the APC process and provide relevant support. The training provider ensure we complete and submit a diary log of our learning and arrange bi anuual APC workshops.
