Conclusions

Too many managers have concerns about the young people’s skills, attitudes and behaviour

Managers recognise that employers have responsibility too

There are opportunities for initiatives which tap into employers’ interests in supporting the local community and growing the future talent pool

Testimonial

Campus CMI “prepares them in a way they wouldn’t have

ordinarily been taught. It gives them a thirst for work and

the inspiration and knowledge to try and take their career

as far as they can…We have had such an outstanding

experience working with LV= & Studyflex that we now

deliver both CMI Level 2 in Team Leading & CMI Level 3

in Management to all Year 12 & 13 students

Marie Getheridge, Headteacher, Bath’s Writhlington

Testimonial #2

Campus CMI “gives students an insight into the

real world of work and the things that will be

expected of them”.

Students are given “a view of themselves from the

perspective of a potential employer”.

Jim Parrish, Head of Sixth Form, Archbishop

Tenison’s School,Croydon.

Graham Stuart MP

Chairman of the Education Select Committee:

“It is vitally important that we take steps to ensure our

young people have the skills they need to enter the

world of work. Figures show that young people face

huge challenges when trying to enter the job market.

We need to equip them with the management and

leadership skills they need to stand out from the

crowd.

“The launch of the Campus CMI programme is an

important part of achieving this aim. It gives young

people an opportunity to grow in these key areas, as

well as a formal qualification to demonstrate their

abilities. Not only will this look great on their CV, but it

should also give them confidence that they have the

skills that employers are looking for.”

Campus CMI Employers

Access to a talent pool of future managers and leaders

Better qualified young people who will be ready for the management and leadership challenges in their working lives and can “hit the ground running”

A route to help schools and colleges inspire young people with the career they can have as managers and leaders

Testimonial - Centrica

“As an employer of school leavers and graduates alike, we recognise the

important role that leadership and management skills play in their skill-set.

Of course, the fundamentals such as maths and science are key for us, but

behavioural skills such as determination, teamwork and a desire to learn are

just as important. Campus CMI has recognised the importance of reaching

young people at the point where these skills are able to be most easily

developed, as well as giving them ambition and goals to strive for. Young

people who demonstrate this outlook by securing management qualifications

with CMI will set themselves apart from their peers at the application stage.”
