We have developed our specialism in designing and delivering graduate development programmes for the past 9 years. From stand-alone high impact experiences to 16 month programmes that are integrated with scheme qualifications and placements, we can create a programme that suits both your business and graduate growth ambitions.
We ensure that our innovative graduate projects are embedded in the workplace, allowing for a long-lasting return on investment.
Our graduate programmes are tailored for the scheme and organisation, most often delivered as a blended programme involving face to face, virtual sessions, self-directed digital resources, and scheme specific application tasks.
Over many years we have designed and delivered organisation wide graduate inductions, one-off introductory days, vital skills support while learning on the job, to scheme exit interview preparation.
We place high value on a holistic approach that supports personal and professional development, enabling graduates to create valuable networks that will spearhead their desired progression and develop their careers.
