Graduate and New Hire Training

How to maximise the effectiveness of your recruitment into IS/IT and reduce stress levels!

It's always the way. Just as soon as you complete one round of recruitment and training, the next one starts. Perhaps it is time to think about how you can reduce the problem and still obtain the content and quality of training that you need.

We have been training graduates and new entrants for over a quarter of a century. You will see from other papers on the site just what we have done in the past for companies such as Liverpool Victoria, but do you realise the awards we have obtained for this work? We must be doing something right to have achieved gold and silver awards for courses aimed at this group.

How have we done this? What makes our training different from everyone else's? Why have we received awards so often?

The answers are very simple.

Firstly, we understand that each company and each graduate programme is different. We do not just deliver the same old course - each is tailored specifically to meet your exact requirements of content, duration and outcomes, and to fit with local standards and terminology. You can be sure that you will know in advance just what skills and knowledge your staff will receive, how they will receive it, and how we will check their new capabilities both during and at the end of the programme. We are flexible with timetables, so a course can be delivered as a single block, or spread throughout a year with the training interspersed with actual work. We are flexible with delivery mechanisms, and can provide classroom or blended training to suit your needs.

Secondly, we handle all the resourcing for delivery and bring together the best possible set of instructors, both from our own resources and from our associates. Where appropriate we blend our resources with those of your own staff so that the course is visibly from your organisation, even though we may be delivering the bulk of it.

Thirdly, all our courses have a high education content. We believe firmly that good training should provide a context for the knowledge we are imparting. Trainees must always leave the course being able to apply what they have been taught, but if they see only limited ways to use it their contribution to the company will be equally limited. Our aim always is to ensure that trainees see beyond the classroom and will be able to apply their new abilities in the variety of situations that they will experience in their job roles.

Fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, our training is practical and usable immediately. You want to gain benefit from your new staff as soon as the course ends. You will have invested heavily in their training and it is not unreasonable that you need them to contribute as soon as they can. We understand this and develop our courses so that staff 'hit the ground running' when they end. Since most new entrants will be involved in project work when they start their jobs, our courses tend to be built around a simulated project. This provides both a framework for the training and invaluable experience of what it means to be involved in a project.

Lastly, our courses offer exceptional value for money. Whether we are talking of one week or a dozen, our pricing will ensure that you gain cost-effective training.

So, our graduate programmes will train your staff to the level you require, reduce the administration overhead, and reduce your costs. We can reduce the pain of developing and delivering these programmes and you can be confident that you are dealing with a training provider with unparalleled experience of extended programmes.
