Introduction to Graduate Development

In the dynamic landscape of today's business world, the importance of investing in the future cannot be overstated, and this begins with your graduates. These individuals are much more than just new additions to your team; they represent the future of your organisation. They are the emerging leaders and innovators who will drive your business forward. They will be the passionate individuals who will embody your company's values and vision into the future.

Goals of Our Programmes

Our Graduate Development programmes at Emerge are meticulously crafted to transform these promising talents into the cornerstone of your organisation's success. We don't just focus on imparting knowledge; we aim to cultivate skills, confidence, and particularly emotional intelligence. It's this combination that enables graduates to not only excel in their individual roles but to also refresh the dynamics of your teams and the broader organisational culture.

Our Approach to Graduate Development

Understanding Individuality

At Emerge, our philosophy towards Graduate Development is rooted in recognising and nurturing the individuality of each participant. We appreciate that every graduate brings a unique blend of talents, aspirations, and ways of learning to the table. This understanding shapes our commitment to delivering a highly personalised development experience. Our programmes are as varied and dynamic as the individuals we're privileged to work with, ensuring a bespoke journey of growth for each one.

Tailored Growth Strategies

We delve deep into the fabric of what makes each graduate tick, aligning our programmes with their personal and professional growth goals. From honing the skills that empower them to contribute effectively and communicate with confidence to fostering a spirit of collaboration through team-building exercises, we aim to sculpt well-rounded individuals who can navigate the complexities of the modern workplace with ease and agility.

By equipping graduates with the ability to understand and manage their emotions, as well as those of others, we prepare them to effectively integrate with their teams and the broader organisation whilst staying true to themselves.

Preparing for Future Challenges

In essence, our approach to Graduate Development at Emerge is about creating a tailored experience that resonates with each graduate's journey. We're not just preparing them for the job at hand; we're equipping them with the skills, confidence, and emotional intelligence to thrive in any situation.

What Our Clients Say


It was a real pleasure to finally meet up with you on Wednesday.
I just wanted to pass on my thanks for your help in defining the programme and, more importantly, in facilitating a really stimulating and engaging day. As promised, you did get us all moving and thinking.
For me it was a really positive and successful event, not least because of the passion and participation of the entire team, which was largely down to your own involvement. It wouldn’t have been half as successful without you.
Many thanks again,

Head Of Logistic Support UK

Passion And Participation

Thanks for this. ‎We Thoroughly enjoyed the day and the exercise were well received and fitting to the theme. I've heard lots of comments about how they didn't just have fun but learnt lots from the whole event too.

Head Of International Team

Trust Team Building Event

Thank you for a fantastic session yesterday. Feedback from the team has been very positive, with lots of food for thought! Looking at our energy levels this morning, I can only imagine how exhausted you must been by the end of the day – although you would never have known it. The enthusiasm and energy with which you led the day was fantastic. I think we got a good balance of activity and presentation, and the examples and humour resonated really well to bring each section to life in a very real way.

Senior Manager

Fantastic Team Session

I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for yesterday.

The feedback has been universally positive, and the team have taken a lot from the session. Much of what we covered has really resonated, and the tone and energy of the workshop was perfect.

Thanks so much for all your input

Vice President Technical Services

A Big Thank You

I wanted to take the time to drop you an email to thank you more formally for the last 2 days. I was, as you may have noticed, slightly concerned on Tuesday morning about how the delegates would respond to the agenda and programme we had designed. I was blown away by how well they did. I had comments at the end of Wednesday from a number of people that this was the best management meeting they had ever attended. That’s testimony to the superb work you did as facilitator, engager, challenger, developer and energiser. I am very grateful to you for all your efforts both on the 2 days but also over the past weeks in designing and developing.

Eileen Girling - Regional HR Director - Crown Worldwide

Best Management Meeting Ever!

Thank you for an engaging development programme on advanced presenting skills - 'Dynamic Design & Delivery'.

Although I've attended this sort of training before, this course gave me new ways of thinking about what I do, innovative facilitation techniques and ideas from the latest research in psychology. I would call this a real game changer in terms of equipping me with a whole load of skills that are already giving me different positive results when I present. Highly recommended.

A Real Game Changer

I just wanted to say thank you for everything for our Space2B event last week. We have been inundated with emails saying how much everyone enjoyed it and how they connected with the topic. It was great to see the ripple of nods going around the room as you spoke. It was one of the first events where we’ve had a senior women stand up and say I’m not perfect and there are areas where I have had to work hard on and I think that was really impactful and empowering.

It was great working with you and watching the event develop into such a success. What I thought was particularly special was to see the transformation throughout the group after learning new tools and techniques and creating an environment where they felt open to discuss aspirations and barriers.

Space2B - Women In The Workplace

The coaching programme was perfect, with so much relevant material that we can use in all aspects of our management roles to help transform the bank. I am happy that we had time to practice what we had learned and receive feedback from Mr. Justin - I wish every bank branch had him on site every day!

Senior Retail Customer Service Manager - Banking, United Arab Emirates

A Perfect Coaching Programme

The feedback from the team was extremely positive following the session with Emerge. On our journey over the last few years we have encountered a number of inspirational people who have really helped us (in different ways) to grow and get better and stronger. The session yesterday and how Gillian brought her experience and professionalism to it was definitely one of those occasions. It was very timely and useful, and we have a clear plan of action and I look forward to us all being in a much more positive place by the next time we meet.

An Inspirational Event

I want to say a massive thank you for the session last week. I really enjoyed it and found all of the Emerge material so useful. Julie is a great trainer – I love her relaxed style and her knowledge and insight shines through.

Company Director

ILM Level 5 Coaching & Mentoring

Along with a member of my team, I recently attended an Emerge leadership programme. At the start I had some doubts (which I shared with the facilitator who was very professional and open) as I have been leading people for many years. However, I have completed the 4 days face-to-face training and the practical work in between, and found myself utterly enjoying the learning and the real life things I have started to change. I am already getting some positive feedback from my team, my manager and some of my customers. The course, the facilitator and the support from Emerge were first class - thank you.

Plant Manager

Exceeded Expectations

"We have been working with Emerge now for a few years and during that time they have continually demonstrated their commitment to understanding our business needs and have provided solutions tailored to those needs in both training and consultancy. They completely work with us in partnership from design to delivery. I would have no hesitation in recommending these a highly experienced team, innovative, flexible, great quality training and fun team to any organisation."

HR Director - Media Sector

Commitment To Understanding

“As a Professor, I don’t really see my job as a people manager – I am a specialist and an academic

and I don’t really enjoy managing day to day people issues. After attending a leadership and

coaching programme run by Emerge, I have changed my opinion and see coaching and inspiring people to raise their game pro-actively as a good way of helping me spend more time on the things I enjoy, rather than having to ‘manage’ them! A real eye-opener and engaging course – thanks.”

Leadership And Management

“The team of coaches from Emerge have built a very strong reputation and brand within NBAD – and are viewed as partners by both Human resources and business leaders alike. Their professionalism and tenacity to support their client- both NBAD and individual executives has been outstanding. This partnership has been instrumental in building our culture of learning and growth – and enabling our business to achieve our strategic objectives.”

Coaching

We have been delighted with the quality of coaching and the outcomes achieved, Emerge have high calibre coaches that are able to truly change behaviour and help people to think more strategically. They also have excellent processes that they use to ensure that coaching is regularly reviewed and that outcomes have a real impact on the business. We feel that the coaching Emerge has delivered has made a real difference to our organisation.”

Harper Collins

Outcomes Achieved

We've been using Emerge for several years and I am always impressed with their professionalism and pleased with their delivery. So many consultancies listen to what you think you need and then shape this into something that they already have - Emerge are different they take time to really understand what you're seeking as a client and then check that they are really meeting your objectives. This coupled with some great trainers and facilitators, great admin back up and an open approach to doing business, is why we've kept using them and intend to in future!"

HR Director - Pharmaceutical Company

I really enjoyed that training session! Very informative and you were brilliant

That was by far the most informative and useful training session I’ve attended since I started at VM

Thank you Rob. It was a great day - and your reminder on involving the team and using their 'motivational colours' is very timely as we are planning our first actions for Monday!”

Created a safe environment to question ideas and thoughts

Excellent, engaging and polite, really made the group integrate well
