“Employers are looking for someone who when given a task, can execute it thoroughly. I believe that I can handle any organisational task, either formal or informal and I will be able to lay out a plan for it. From the risk assessment involved to the way the task is to unfold. CMI is very relevant, irregardless of what profession you want to take up in the future. It also sets one apart from someone who has the same degree, it gives you the upper hand.” CWICS Volunteer, September 2015
