CASE STUDIES

Vicky, Operations Management Graduate

Vicky, Operations Management Graduate
"From the day one of the Graduate scheme you're given lots of responsibility. The support given to you by the Early Talent team, your peers and your mentors is invaluable and they're able to guide you at every step of the way. Equally you're given plenty of opportunity to make your mistakes and learn from them - ultimately supporting your development."

Vicky - Operations Management Graduate

 

Reade, Operations Management Industrial Placement

Reade, Operations Management Graduate
"The broad experience I have gained has surpassed my expectations and is something I have truly relished. My daily role sees me manage a team of up to 40 people. Being a 20 year old student, this helped me to quickly and efficiently develop new skills and helped mould me into the confident manager I am today.

Alice, Project Management Graduate
"There are multiple opportunities to experience different parts of the organisation. From day one I was not only assisting on projects, but managing them. You won't just be placed in a corner expected to fetch the coffees! It's a fantastic level of responsibility in a supportive environment, you'll always have someone you can turn to for assistance."

Alice - Project Management Graduate
