The document introduces Campus CMI, a program that aims to develop leadership and management skills in young people aged 14-21. It does this by offering professional qualifications from the Chartered Management Institute. The goals are to help students be work-ready, boost career opportunities, and develop the skills employers want. Schools can integrate the short courses and qualifications flexibly into their curriculum. Employer involvement is encouraged through activities like internships, coaching, and engaging with students. Testimonials praise the program for giving students real-world skills and perspective that will help them stand out.

26. 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.”

27. 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

28. 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.”
