“Being involved in leadership training and education is crucial to your success at NC State and beyond. Being involved in a program like “Leadership In Action” will assist you in gaining clarity about who you are as well as what you want to do with your life. This is extremely important to employers and recruiters, as they desire candidates who know their leadership strengths, weaknesses and interests. Important information should they choose to hire you!” * Leslie Rand-Pickett, NCSU Career Counselor
