  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt very valued during my time at the Leadership Academy because the staff and people working with you from the firm, they did not try to overly advocate the firm, its placements and opportunities. The scheme was very tailored to each of us as an individual.
