Graduate Development Programme

The Graduate Development Programme is a comprehensive four-day programme designed specifically for graduates in their first two or three years in a professional role. Sub-titled ‘Working in Organisations’, the Graduate Development Programme sets out to help participants develop their understanding of organisational behaviour, what makes people tick and how to develop effective working relationships – getting things done, through with and for other people.
