Election post
I have been a part of Guild for the past 2 years. During this time, not only have I benefited directly from what the Guild academy has achieved, but I have also developed a clear vision of what I want and know the Academy is capable of achieving moving forward. Having held several directorial roles in societies both within UCL and externally, I believe that I possess the necessary skills to improve our existing initiatives as well as to introduce new ones. As such, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to realise these changes as the Head of the Guild Academy
As it stands, the Guild Academy has been successful in providing a range of panel events, mentorship programmes and workshops. As Head, I would like to build upon this success by:
- Introducing a panel series on Corporate ESG: to explore the rising importance of fields such as ESG consulting and sustainable finance
- Introducing short-term client projects exclusive to Guild Academy members : to allow members to work on real-world projects under the supervision of industry professionals as mentors.
- Introducing Corporate Law focussed initiatives: to guide aspiring lawyers towards attaining vacation schemes
- Improving the timeline of events: to ensure industry specific events and workshops coincide with relevant application deadlines
With my experiences from past Leadership roles and my vision for the future of the Guild Academy, I look forward to further growing the Guild Academy as the new Head.
