SEVEN STEPS TO GRADUATE SUCCESS
Graduate Success has identified the seven steps a business needs to take to ensure the long-term career success of their Graduate trainees. Following twelve years of recruiting and developing graduates, Graduate Success, has combined its wealth of experience and feedback they have received to formulate this comprehensive programme.
Designed to take the graduate from a quick and effective integration, to a place where they are soon adding value, the programme ensure that they remain motivated well into their careers. The seven steps to Graduate Success are:
1. Searching
2. Selecting
3. Securing
4. Integrating
5. Delivering
6. Motivating
7. Developing
The seven steps are described in more detail on the Graduate Success website www.graduatesuccess.com/7steps Simon Reichwald, Graduate Success, comments, 'It is important that each of the steps is followed. If there is one missing, then it just won’t happen. We are interested in making sure that graduate talent deliver successfully into their organisation year-after-year and that they are consistently achieving. So many graduates have the potential, but it’s how you harness that potential from the onset that’s important.'
It is well recognised that SMEs can be reluctant to take on Graduates, as they don’t believe that they will stay for the duration. They feel that they will spend time and money in training them for someone else to ultimately benefit. So, it’s important that the graduate can hit the ground running and be seen to be adding value. Equally, if an employee feels that their career is moving quickly and they are motivated they will be more likely to want to stay.
The fourth of the ‘Seven Steps to Graduate Success’, ‘Integrating’, includes F100. This takes the graduate through the first 100 days in their job. It helps preclude the silly mistakes that graduates often make in adapting from university to working life. Part of the integration process is developing the graduates emotional intelligence and abilities to work alongside and manage people.
One of our clients has recently identified that they are aiming for 50% of their managers to come via their graduate programme. They have recognised that it is far more cost effective to build their own senior management team from within through succession planning rather than paying steep headhunting fees for their star performers. There is the added advantage that ‘home-grown talent’ will really understand their business.
