Vision
To increase UK
productivity, social
mobility and provide a
work-ready labour pool

Mission
Campus CMI provides young
people aged 14–21 early
recognition of, and support for,
their management and leadership

leadership and workplace skills
that will boost career opportunities

employers want to see in new
recruits.

Testimonial
Campus CMI “prepares them in a way they wouldn’t have
ordinarily been taught. It gives them a thirst for work and
the inspiration and knowledge to try and take their career
as far as they can…We have had such an outstanding
experience working with LV= & Studyflex that we now
deliver both CMI Level 2 in Team Leading & CMI Level 3
in Management to all Year 12 & 13 students
Marie Getheridge, Headteacher, Bath’s Writhlington
Testimonial #2
Campus CMI “gives students an insight into the
real world of work and the things that will be
expected of them”.
Students are given “a view of themselves from the
perspective of a potential employer”.
Jim Parrish, Head of Sixth Form, Archbishop
Tenison’s School,Croydon.
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.”
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
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.”
