Hire Train Deploy: Preparing Gen Z graduates for the challenges of the workplace

A recent survey by Intelligent.com disclosed that 60% of employers have dismissed Gen Z employees they recruited directly from college  and university earlier this year. The report highlights the perceived shortcomings of the class of 2024 and the impact it could have on future graduates. We understand these challenges and offer all the solutions through our Hire Train Deploy programme, a certified training programme providing early in career talent with sought-after tech skills and preparing them for a successful career.  
 
Addressing the human skills 

One of the main concerns employers have with Gen Z employees is their apparent lack of motivation or initiative. Our Academy programmes provide comprehensive soft skills training that addresses these issues head-on. We focus on communication, personal effectiveness, and resilience, ensuring that our graduates are equipped with the necessary skills to excel in the workplace. 
 
Technical skills development 

In addition to soft skills, our Academy programmes also offer extensive technical skills development. We understand the importance of staying up to date with the latest industry trends and technologies. We ensure our consultants are well-prepared to tackle any technical challenges they may face in their roles. 
 
Regular feedback and collaboration

Our Academy programmes offer a range of opportunities to gain practical experience in collaborative working environments. These include project work, mixed cohort sessions, and initiatives like Techathons, where individuals from diverse fields collaborate to tackle challenges or develop products within a limited timeframe. Engaging in these activities equips students with the skills necessary to thrive in today's collaborative work settings.
