Over three years of training, participants will have diverse opportunities to engage in activities that foster lifelong learning. Through encouraging personal growth, developing skills for employment, and enhancing transferable skills beyond what is typically recognized on academic transcripts, students will graduate with the life and leadership skills expected of university graduates.
The program is designed to enhance and develop leadership abilities through its three-level structure: Setting Oneself Up for Success, Developing Skills, and Integrating Learning.
