My experience as a student leader in CIIT is that they give me an opportunity to grow as a leader by giving me the chance to go outside my comfort zone. From meeting new people who are artists, leaders, or academics, along with the infrastructure and support which the faculty gives us. All of these factors have helped me not only become a better leader, but also a better teammate, student, and person.

I learned so much in the past few months. My professors do not only teach us the technicalities of our course—but they also train us how to understand, analyze, and evaluate. They enhance our skills and knowledge by allowing us to experience it firsthand while still guiding us throughout. This is a critical point for us, student artists, because through this, we are being trained to be ready for the industry.

The system is considerate to its students, even to those who might be falling behind. However, it still builds a challenging atmosphere that pushes the students to reach higher, and strive for their personal best. The school has helped me progress in various fields of art. I was happy to be in a community who has the same interest as me, and to be learning from professionals.

I appreciate CIIT'S way of building the confidence of future creatives to add value and get better opportunities. We need to equip them with things that a computer cannot do—to connect with humans on an emotional level through the work, as a response to the rise of AI.

It's an honor collaborating with CIIT for our Regional Internship Program. They're very proactive and attentive to their partners' needs and their onboarding process is also very systematic, even topnotch. Being an international NGO focused on forming young leaders globally, we're beyond grateful to CIIT for introducing us to a lot of very talented and brilliant creatives. We've had the opportunity of working with one of their students and we're justly proud of how excellent she was during her stint.
