Are you planning to book a consultation with our counsellor?
I was 1st year phycology student when I realised that I need a career change. It was very confusing time when I approached my university career counsellors for advice and that’s when they suggested EMDI and that was life changing for me. Doing phycology, people had always come to me with their sorrows, but in events this was my opportunity to be a part of people’s happiness for the first time and I found passion at EMDI. I think you will too.
