Developing Young Talent

When young people first enter employment it can be an exciting time for both employer and employee. Companies invest in recruitment that will bring in the talent needed to keep their business moving forward, and as they do so they meet eager young adults who are often brimming with new ideas but some times lack the communication skills to put them forward. Employers try to help the transition from education to work go well so that young staff are retained and their energy is brought to the workplace. Inevitably challenges are encountered by the youngsters: dealing with difficult people who may be much older, meeting deadlines and targets, communicating the right thing at the right time, fitting in, and feeling confident enough to join in and play a full part.

For more than 20 years we have been helping companies to train and retain their young people, be they graduates, apprentices, or other young employees. We have helped young people enjoy their budding careers through becoming more self aware and confident.

Our DYT programme has been running for more than 20 years, now, and in that time has developed to keep pace with the changing needs of our customers wishing to use it. A regular open course welcomes individuals and small groups from different businesses and takes the form of a 4-day residential module with pre- and post- course work to support it.

What all of these programmes have had in common is that they are uniquely about the individuals who come along. When participants realise this they are quick to join in the process of stretching their abilities and extracting what learning they can that will help them at work.
