The Professional Certificate is a flexible, bespoke online course for early career professionals within the cotton industry. Working with the first cohort of students has been extremely rewarding in terms of supporting them in developing their knowledge and skills to enhance their personal effectiveness within the cotton industry, many of them have produced outstanding work that will be relevant to their future career”.
