Graduate Development – a One Day Course

 

What’s it all about?

 

This course is all about induction and retention. After years of education, a graduate needs to be eased into the frenetic world of business. We will give your new graduates the skills that they need to be part of the larger team. This will include ideas and advice on working styles and how best they can manage their own learning and development in the workplace. They’ll receive lots of personal feedback from peers and trainers on their performance and will be given the opportunity to lead as well as follow.

 

Who for?

 

Post Graduates in their first to third year in the workplace

 

Why?

 

  • Promote the idea of self-starting and self-led learning.
  • A tool for increasing self-awareness.
  • Will create a shared identity and common working vision in the group.
  • A fun experience to look back upon and use in the future.

Can this be developed?

 

Yes. Many companies go for a two-day or four-day course rather than a one-day. The longer the course then the more in-depth the learning.

 

Where?

 

At a venue near you! The course may have to be modified a little depending on the resources available, but we can run this at almost any conference centre or even in your own workplace. The prices below do not include day delegate conference facilities as theses prices vary depending on the venue.

 

What’s included in the price?

 

  • Pre-course preparation
  • Full facilitation
  • Activities, full safety equipment and staffing
  • Post-Course evaluation
  • Insurance (to £5m)

How much will it cost?

  • Up to 20 delegates: £2,100.00
  • Up to 30 delegates: £2,900.00
