Would be happy to discuss with you in detail our experience and to understand where you are..(from recruitment and selection? integratated business placements..performance mgt…to graduate training and development and landing roles / perm positions)

Grad training programme
Hi Josh, would be happy to let you know how I went about it for our organisation. Set one up last year, first year grads just successfully promoted into permanent posts. My main advice would be to concentrate on getting them the right mix of activities and development, and challenge them, if you stretch them and give them room to experiment they’ll add huge value. What type of business are you in? How many grads?
