Programme Detail Summary

Within the first four years, you will be expected to have obtained an active level of independence on your engagements – as a principal at the initial stage, to independently close files or determine escalation to relevant stakeholders by the end of your initial participation. The role will naturally enable development and application of decision-domain experiences (e.g., managing or supervising teams, asset/discourse workshops) and will help you develop progressively in areas such as stakeholder management and full-cycle case-tracking procedures.
