#myCLTexperience
Read real-world testimonials from Careers Leaders who have undertaken training through CEC and our partner providers.
The course has helped me reflect on leadership styles and methods, both strategically and operationally. I have worked closely with the Senior Leadership Team in order to agree the direction and outcomes of the programme, also agreed with the governing body. From this I have drawn up a strategic plan and an operational model to deliver the programme.Careers Leader, 2023 Cohort
