Graduate Training Schemes

Attract & retain graduates by putting them on the right path to a successful career

Framework Training has a strong track record of providing a solid introduction into the working world for technical graduates, and the opportunity to learn and gain valuable hands-on experience in a supportive, friendly and sociable training environment.

We know how vital it is for our clients to invest in their talented grads; not only to provide them with the high-quality, professional training essential for their roles, but to embed them within the organisation’s culture and guide them on the right path to a successful career.

We take our graduate training programmes seriously; after all, your new hires could well be the next leaders and their creative ideas and unique insights are valuable to your business.

Clever planning and expert Instructors

Planning is key and we work closely with you to get to know your company, culture and your delegates' individual needs; designing a programme that aligns seamlessly with the brief.

It starts with a meeting with our expert instructor and client to discuss content and what to include. We then whittle this down to key requests to keep the content and practical tasks relevant.

We ensure a common thread runs through the programme so graduates learn about building small blocks that will fit together and create an overall architecture.

Our team of expert instructors blend both commercial and academic experience and make the sessions light-hearted and fun. They have substantial experience teaching groups, and are highly skilled at maintaining contact with each graduate; providing extra support and encouragement and understanding their individual needs.

This is particularly useful for graduate training schemes, where the focus is on creating a community and fostering effective group work as well as developing technical skills.

Maximising budgets and efficiency and delivering commercial advantage

We’ve developed a robust, flexible framework to ensure we provide maximum value. We have open conversations with our clients and work together to maximise their available budget. This could be including half-day sessions and guided practical sessions that may not require full instructor delivery.

We believe it’s what happens after the training that's key; this is when the graduates integrate into the business, apply what they’ve learnt and can generate the most value.

Our graduate training schemes offer plenty of opportunities for practical work, allowing delegates the chance to tackle an issue or task themselves, with support and coaching from their instructor.

In our training sessions, we mirror the modern development practices that graduates will be using at work in the real world, teaching them CI/CD among others and putting all the practical examples into a GitHub repository; ensuring that how it looks in the training room is how it looks when they are sitting at their desk.

One of our core goals is to do everything we can to ease the transition from training to work.

Case Study: Software Engineering Academy

Informed Solutions - we've been delivering their annual graduate training schemes since 2018.

They approached Framework Training to shape and deliver a two-week Software Engineering ‘Bootcamp’ that would give technical and non-technical Graduates alike an accelerated introduction to software development best practice. The goals of the training were to:

• Provide all trainees with a fundamental skills in object oriented software development using Java as the basis for their practical learning.
• Equip trainees who aspire to follow a technical career path with the core concepts, skills and working practices needed to deliver high quality software.
• Give trainees who aspire to follow a non-technical career path the understanding and confidence needed to collaborate with technical colleagues and deliver technical projects that are on time, of a high quality and meet user needs.
