Graduate Development Programs

MAKING GRADUATES PRODUCTIVE

We have had great success with our Graduate Development programmes. These programmes help graduates to become effective very quickly in the workplace combining theory with practical sessions to ‘fast-track’ the development of individuals. This approach accelerates them reaching their potential and increases the ability of participants to interact effectively with others.

Our Graduate Development programmes equip graduates with the people skills that are so often cited as lacking by graduate employers.  Depending on the emphasis of the programme, graduates can develop a variety of skills. These skills include teamwork, leadership, communication, listening, creative thinking and negotiation to match their academic knowledge and achievement. This emphasis is understood prior to setting the programme objectives, meaning that the development programme is tailored to your organisation and its needs.

We also enhance the high-performance behaviours that are essential for a successful professional and/or managerial career: determination; positivity; resilience; openness; mindfulness; and creativity.

the problem

An effective graduate recruitment scheme is an important component of any organisation’s HR strategy. However, as resource-heavy as the process is, recruiting the best talent is only the starting point. Graduate recruits often require the support from a programme of personal development opportunities in order to thrive in the workplace and smoothly progress into the senior roles.

the solution

Our Graduate Development programme equips graduates with the people skills that are so often cited as lacking by graduate employers.  Depending on the emphasis of the programme, graduates can develop skills in teamwork, leadership, communication, listening, creative thinking and negotiation to match their academic knowledge and achievement.  This emphasis is understood prior to setting the programme objectives, meaning that the development programme is tailored to your organisation and its needs.

The benefit of working with us

Our bespoke programmes are built to your organisation’s needs, therefore it provides you with the opportunity to specify the skills and behaviours that  are most important to your organisation. We can then align the programme to your values and culture. The most effect duration for a Graduate Development course is where the candidates are immersed in the learning from Monday to Friday on a residential week, however our flexible approach allows us to work around your needs and constraints.
