Earning to Learning
Introducing MaST early career development. The MaST approach to helping graduates manage and own their early careers so that
they make an effective contribution to your business.
Are you making the most of your investment?
Recruiting, developing and retaining your graduates is a costly business. And graduates today expect so much more from their
employers. They want more than just a good induction programme and a series of demanding work placements with a random selection
of skills training programmes thrown in for good measure.
Far too many graduates leave their first job within 2 or 3 years because they find themselves frustrated by the constant change
and uncertainty of contemporary business.
The implications to your investment are:
- Time, money and resources
- Productivity and succession planning
- Your organisation's image and reputation in the business community.
How would this affect your ability to attract and retain the best graduates for your business?
In light of this, we firmly believe that any graduate development programme has to give graduates the means to direct their
own learning and build on their own individual strengths and working styles.
The Learning Journey™ with MaST
The Learning Journey reflects how we at MaST help people make the most of their learning: from MaST's Study Skills for A levels,
right through to their early career development.
As their needs change, so does our approach. At A level and degree stage, they need a planned and structured environment. In their
early career, graduates need support in managing and owning their own development in a business environment which is constantly
changing and where their ability to deal effectively with ambiguity is essential.
Within the learning journey we focus on developing your graduates to manage and own their early careers so that they make an
effective contribution to your business. Early Career Development Intern Programmes. This gives you, as an employer, the opportunity
to identify potential future talent, at low risk. The benefits to undergraduates include early exposure to your organisation's culture
and to critical business skills. This maximises their immediate effectiveness when they return as graduates.
Assessment / Development Centres
Assessment Centres can be used for selection of the best candidates and/or to identify their ongoing development needs. For

From Learning to Earning...
No graduate programme is or should ever be the same. The culture, vision and strategic objectives of a business will inevitably
mould the shape and outputs of any development programme. Just as important is the need for any programme to mirror your company's
competency framework and the way you measure and manage performance. To address the challenges we have outlined, clients typically
look to us to help develop their graduates in three key areas:
