The programme involves students planning & running an event of their choice, each team member takes on a role within the team to ensure the project is completed on time and achieves their original aims & objectives. During the seven weeks of the programme, Rotary members deliver information within the School/ College environment for two hours per week on all aspects of project management. The students then present the project results as well as a one-to-one interview with the assessors, successful students receive a Rotary certificate of completion and if reaching the required standard a further level 2 qualification Certificate from the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) This year we had 52 students who volunteered to complete the course.
