CMI Awards of Excellence
International Student of the Year
Celebrating volunteering excellence amongst the CMI community
What is the International Student of the Year Award?
CMI's International Partners are a crucial part of CMI's community. The new International Student of the Year award has been introduced to celebrate our learners around the world who have shown commitment to their development as future leaders, and their commitment to our vision to create better led and managed organisations.
Students are the managers and leaders of tomorrow. Instilled with an understanding of the value of management and leadership, they are on the path to inspiring and engaging the future workforce. The CMI International Student of the Year award recognises individuals who are already exceptional learners and are destined to make an impact as future leaders.
