Future Leaders

CMI's membership community for emerging and practising professionals.

What is CMI Future Leaders?

Future Leaders is CMI's membership community for young people - a group of diverse, ambitious and emerging professionals who are proactively looking to get ahead in their career.

60% of employers expect graduates to have practical management and leadership skills. What they really mean by this is the skills and attributes that complement your technical expertise or subject knowledge — the things that make a great manager or leader, like communication, problem-solving, and negotiation.

CMI Future Leaders is designed to support you to gain and continually improve these vital employability skills - to support you into the senior management role you aspire to have, ensuring and tracking your progress quickly and effectively.

Become a Future Leader

By becoming a Future Leader, CMI membership will support you to get a foot on the career ladder and rapidly progress.

Part peer-to-peer community, part guided self-development, Future Leaders is designed to lead you from one career milestone to the next. We'll be there to support you with every step - from finding your first job, to developing towards a promotion, right through to becoming a successful, inspiring leader.

ManagementDirect is really useful in my graduate job. I’ve used the resources and templates to structure my work and enhance my project management skills.
