From The Project Management
Specialist (PMS)-LICT
“I was curious to know about students’ perception about the ongoing
training program. So planned a visit with Anurag and Kamal from EY.
Facing the students, I asked a simple and straight question:
How many of you will recommend this training program being
conducted by EY to your juniors?
To my delight, all 35 students raised their hands instantly.”
