GRADUATE PROGRAMME

A Graduate Programme designed to help you to attract, develop and retain young talents.

Given the time, energy, and resource that is put towards recruiting and retaining the best possible calibre of graduates into your organisation, it is important to ensure that they are nurtured and directed along a development path that meets both their and your immediate and long-term objectives. And that they emerge as confident, balanced individuals who actively contribute to the success of the business.

British companies collectively spend nearly £900 million/year trying to attract the best graduates, but many graduates spend less than 18 months in their first job, with 1 in 4 graduates moving on within a year. — CEB

Our Programme

Our unique perspective into the issues faced by engineers and engineering organisations has enabled us to create a programme that combines training, programme management and professional development support, which you can pick and mix, to best deliver your organisation’s requirements and goals.

There are two distinct ways that we can support you:

IMechE graduate programme training and development

Training and development

We can design the whole training programme for you, make over your current training or act as a consultant, helping you tailor your current training to get the best of your graduates. We offer:

  • A portfolio of around 200 of technical and non-technical courses designed to build both personal and professional skills.
  • Facilitators with industry experience and that understand the needs of your engineers, which ensures the successful transfer of learning into the workplace.
IMechE graduate programme management

Programme management

We can support your programme planning and delivery, from taking over smaller admin tasks to running the whole programme for you. We:

  • Provide a comprehensive service ranging from speakers, venues, co-ordinating training, a branded learning management system, communities, and programme design.
  • Act as a trusted partner, helping you to save time by can relieving you of repetitive administration tasks, whilst ensuring that your key objectives are measured and met.

In addition, our Global Membership Team can guide your graduate engineers through a series of well-planned and executed stages linked to the UK-SPEC, ensuring they can demonstrate the requirements for professional registration, and the rigours faced by engineering today. The benefits:

  • An easy choice when advising on good practice, and the management of your scheme for professional engineers, throughout their careers
  • Unparalleled support at each professional registration milestone
