Graduate Program
A capability building program for graduates
The goal of this program is for graduates to build capability in foundation skills and step into their roles with confidence. Once a month, graduates debrief the development of these skills with their individual managers after having completed workshops, peer-to-peer activities, and real-world application tasks.
