Top Five Tips for A Great Grad Scheme

When designing a scheme we believe the following 5 factors are vital for success

1. Think target jobs. Ask the business what roles the grads should be in by the end of the scheme and what knowledge, skills and experience these roles need.
2. Think customer. Identify the real customer for the scheme.
3. Think engagement. Design for motivation and remember the grads' benchmark is their external peer group.
4. Think clear expectations. Make it crystal clear to the graduates and the business what is expected of them in terms of performance, behaviours and process.
5. Think results. Make sure the structure of the scheme allows for the graduates to deliver great work.
