Investing in Graduates

Research into High Performing Graduates

Do you want to base your graduate scheme on long term research into what the highest performing graduates do? All our advice, tools, and development are based on an in-depth study of graduates in 6 large organisations who were rated as adding more value than their peers, 3-7 years into their careers.

This research clarifies the attitudes and behaviours that enable the best graduates to manage ambiguity, learn fast and create opportunities, and which provide a springboard for later career success. It has huge implications for how to select these graduates, how to imprint them with the right attitudes, how to support and shape them, and how to retain them.

Drive Your Career! for Graduates

Graduates are a discerning audience, and it takes a lot to impress them. Our Drive Your Career! workshops have received 98% excellent or good ratings from graduate participants over the last year, with a large majority of participants rating them top marks.

Graduates appreciate the fact that all our recommended tactics and strategies are based on research into what actually works for people who have successful careers. In addition, the programmes reflect the fact that these graduates may be your senior managers of the future, so they are delivered by consultants who are high fliers and have had a fast track career themselves, or who have strong backgrounds in executive coaching at the most senior level.

New! Graduate Success Card Pack

Based on our research into long-term graduate success, T&P has created a pack of cards that can be given out at induction, allowing each graduate access to hints and tips from the highest performing graduates in six organisations.

End-of-Scheme Career Conferences

T&P has recently developed a series of 1-2 hour career workshops. These can be combined with sessions with people from your organisation, to create a 1-2 day Career Conference organised and run with your graduates.
