GRADUATE: Smoothing transitions

Who is Graduate for?

Graduate is aimed at helping individuals in their first few years in an organisation to:

  • Understand how to get on without losing their spark and creativity
  • Make the most of themselves by improving their effectiveness early on
  • Improve their ability to build relationships with and influence a range of people
  • Be successful and have fun in those key formative years

Sainsbury's, seeing their graduates as a key resource, were keen to ensure that they were given every chance to succeed and that the Graduate product does this in a way that keeps their creativity and spark intact.
