Barclays Corporate and internships

Our recent research into internships and graduate development has been referenced by Barclays Corporate.

Interaction Graduate development programme

If you recruit graduates but don’t want to run an in house development programme, we have the solution – an open programme, run by experienced graduate developers providing the opportunity for graduates to acquire the skills they need to succeed and network with peers from other organisations.

We are seeking participants now to join the 2011 programme starting in November.

Rapid graduation

Over the years Interaction has worked with many organisations to create graduate programmes that really deliver.  For organisations that recruit low numbers of graduates we’ve now created a unique open programme that focuses on the critical capabilities graduates need to develop in their first year. 

The programme

This is a creative, experiential programme that provides relevant, practical development and consists of four modules:

• understanding myself
• commercial awareness
• working in teams
• influencing

If you are looking for a more bespoke programme we can deliver this programme in-house, tailored to reflect your company culture and business issues.

We can also offer additional modules such as induction.

Additional support

If you are looking for ways to engage and support graduate’s line managers we can provide coaching skills training.  This one day workshop has been developed using feedback and first hand experiences of graduates’ managers.  It provides practical tools and techniques and insights into the graduate experience to enable managers to provide support and coaching.

Our qualified coaches can also provide one to one coaching sessions to enable graduates to develop their individual skills and manage their profile within the business.

AGR summer conference

Interaction learning and development will be exhibiting at the AGR annual summer conference on 4-5 July 2011. We are looking forward to meeting graduate recruiters and talking to them about their development programmes and hope to see some old friends as well as meet some new contacts. If you would like to meet us at the conference please email Jill.

AGR one day graduate development conference

Interaction has been asked to deliver a session at the AGR one day graduate development conference on 25 March. The theme for the conference is “Graduate development in an age of austerity”. Our session will look at how best to leverage internal resources to make sure that cuts in budgets and other pressures do not affect the quality of graduate programmes.
