The IMI Graduate Development Programme allowed me to gain and develop essential skills, such as goal setting, negotiation, and critical thinking. These are not typically the focus of an undergraduate qualification, yet are vital in the workplace. As a result of the IMI, I can now take ownership of roles to which I am assigned and can confidently take on any tasks and projects.Gemma O’ReganBusiness Analyst & Graduate, Fexco Corporate Payments
