Graduate Maturation Workshop
1 day workshop, with 1/2 day follow-up session

Universities are good at teaching the theory, but for graduates entry into the real world can be a culture shock. It can take up to two years for a young graduate to find their feet and become a genuine contributor.  By the time they’re productive they’ve often gone elsewhere.

In this workshop, Nigel teaches graduates and their employers about the workings of the learning brain and the importance of experience. He provides practical strategies for managing perceptions, workload, adapting to stress and fatigue, emotional self-possession and owning your professional development.

This one-day workshop with a 1/2 day follow-up one month later is ideal for professional organisations who want to accelerate the development and retain their human capital.
