Like good Healthcare, Education should be a human right not a privilege. Because it truly moves the needle in changing people's lives for the better, this is why this program was an honourable way for me to have a minor contribution to these bright minds' futures.

Very enriching experience, got a lot of energy from inspiring young minds, humbling to have been a small part as they take off in their professional journey.
The Participants

It is one thing to acquire knowledge from the lecture rooms during the university stay and it is another thing to acquire knowledge needed for any person to enter a new phase in life of the corporate world. The CSC provides the basis for one to understand what is expected of each person to enter the corporate world and this is very helpful.
Blessings Chaile
It has been a great privilege to take part in this program. As a participant, the lessons come in handy and are very practical. They give one confidence to apply for jobs or even start up ventures all thanks to the practical nature of this course. It also helps one understand their career path.

The best investment is one in which you make in acquiring knowledge because "education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today"- Malcom X. The B360 program is indeed a competitive advantageous tool, in that it is an avenue through which learners are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities by experienced experts to be the competent professionals that the world really needs in modern day.
There's so much you learn when in university but unlike your university courses, The CSC gives you a feel of the real world what and you are most likely to experience in terms of your career. I have learnt so much that is valuable for the corporate world. Not only do you learn from the experts but your peers too. In addition, you make new friendships and grow your circle.

Learning about emotional intelligence was a great highlight for me, helped me gain insight on how well I can enhance my emotional intelligence. Also, the dry runs gave me an idea of what I should expect in the real world. Life is like a road, you need to slow down, when you see a hump or curve, at the end of the day you will reach your destination. Thank you.

Overall, the course was interactive and engaging with open discussions the norm for all the sessions, not to mention the different cultural norms when it comes to job application information required among different cultures that we discovered through our discussions, which I found to be very insightful. I would without hesitation recommend the CSC to any soon to be graduate as it covers topics that are importance to them.
