Professional Development Survey
Challenges want to engage more with our alumni and be able to offer more support -- but we need your help to do so! Filling in this questionnaire will give us more focused sense of direction, as well as help us make more informed choices regarding our alumni.
This is not an ICS survey: this is a Challenges survey. We want this to help shape the work we do -- inside ICS and outside of it -- over the coming years, and we hope you'll stay a central part of that story.
There are three short sections for you to complete: Personal Details, Placement and Employment, and CMI and Skills. Most of the questions in each are multiple choice.
This will take only 5 - 10 minutes. Thank you!
