How To Build A Scalable Early Career Talent Program

  1. Align hiring goals with wider business ones: Define what it is your company is trying to achieve. Is it upskilling specific departments? Is it improving your DEI? Make sure you know before going ahead.
  2. Think about sourcing: How are you going to get talent to you? Do you have a strong enough brand that they're already applying, or are you struggling to attract people?
  3. Verify their skills to minimise risk: Hiring early career talent at scale can be risky, but knowing they'll have the right skills to add value is a great way to sure up any potential problems.
  4. Have the next steps mapped out: What does the apprenticeship program look like in comparison to the grad one? What makes them different? Also, making sure talent feel supported and appreciated is important, so mentors are a great trick!
