Edmilson Angelo’s Registered Charity- Change 1’s Life

“We can all be the change we want to see in the world”, is the mantra of Change 1s Life founder Edmilson Angelo.

Data from over 26,000 former students was analysed to determine which universities produced the highest ratio of graduates who have gone on to become chief executives, chief technology officers, or partners. Despite the expected appearance of some of the more prestigious institutions – for example Cambridge ranked second with 3.9% of their alumni holding top positions in the business sector - the biggest and oldest UK universities don't produce as many business l...
