What is a graduate programme?
A graduate programme is a programme designed to develop candidates into management positions through variety of operational placements within a business. Graduates would work in every department within a company and over the course of a personalised programme, graduates would be given hands on experience, helping the candidates grow into future business leaders.
Companies that run graduate programmes do so because they want to tap into the best young talent available with a view to growing the graduate into their next company leaders whilst ensuring high retention within their company.
The ultimate aim is to fast-track graduates into positions of responsibility, so there’s a heavy focus on professional development and this focus will be reflected in the tasks that graduates are asked to do, which are likely to be challenging, varied and across multiple business areas.
The length of a graduate programme varies from one company to another, in general they last between 12 months and 2 years.
