Career Ambitions (optional)

Management Shadowing is to observe and analyse management style, methods and their effectiveness and these are broadly similar across most business sectors. This means that you can learn about management regardless of the actual business of your placement company. If you wish, tell us your career ambitions and we will try to take this into account when finding a placement company for you but please remember that often this is not possible.

How do you hope the Management Shadowing Programme will benefit you?

As numbers on the Programme are limited, this form will be used to select candidates deemed to be most suitable. It is therefore important that we understand what you hope to gain from the Programme and why you believe you should be awarded a place.
