Our development programme

Our graduate development programme offers two years of structured learning in which you can develop your skills and abilities for your future career with us.

Throughout your two years you have a range of development opportunities which will see you gain new skills, chat with managers and directors whilst also getting to know the other graduates a little better.

What the two year programme will bring

• A one-week residential induction to give you an overview of the group, introduce you to our values and business objectives and also an opportunity for you to spend time with your sponsoring managers, mentors and to have dinner with the directors.
• Skills-based courses, including project management, influencing, time management, assertiveness, personal impact (how to make a great impact) and performance management. (To learn about how our current graduates have found their development, read their case studies).
• Additional personal development as identified with your manager in your personal development discussions.
• A one-week residential leadership development course in year one.
• A two day development centre in year two with individual feedback and coaching sessions to maximise your progress on the scheme.
• Business learning sessions to raise your awareness of cross-business projects and initiatives.
• Industry events to deepen your understanding of challenges and innovation across the sector.
• Mentoring with a manager in another part of the business to maximise your knowledge and opportunities to network.
• Placements across your business area and across the wider business.
