ProGrad Graduate
October 13, 2008 by ProGrad
ProGrad are Australia’s only assessment, placement and training company based in Sydney and Melbourne.
Working on behalf of companies across a number of industries, ProGrad are well positioned to assist graduates in kick-starting their new graduate career within roles such as sales, business development, client services, marketing and technical support.
We operate as an out-sourced HR Department for a number of companies, such as Lion Nathan, 3M, Microsoft, Dow Jones, Dell, Travelex, Fairfax and News Corp. On behalf of these companies, we assess recent University graduates for the key competencies which will make them successful in roles where they are interacting with corporate clients.
Once placed with ProGrad, a training program awaits which is an investment made by the employer to ensure high levels of success are achieved in the role.
ProGrad is built on the belief that it is not necessarily experience that will ensure success in a company. Rather, it is a combination of the right attitude and the right attributes. Our corporate clients require ambitious, high achievers for their teams and are particularly looking for those candidates who are keen to kick start their careers within areas such as corporate sales, business development, client services, account management and marketing. These are often the areas where graduates can add the most value, and can make a positive contribution to the growth of an organization. It is also an area which offers graduates strong career progression and competitive salary packages.
The ProGrad Training model is one of the most attractive reasons for a graduate to use ProGrad to facilitate their graduate career. Over the first 12 months of employment, our candidates attend a modular training program which is designed to develop the skill-set of placed candidates in areas such as professional communication, solution sales, ethical negotiation, account management and professional presentation skills.
ProGrad have recently developed an additional course, aimed at grooming placed candidates into more senior, executive positions. This “Executive Development Program” is a 4 course program which is attended by our candidates in year 2 and 3 of employment. At this time, as our candidates are preparing for the next step in their corporate career, the delegates are exposed to management skills, managing change, measuring performance and planning/ preparing for meetings.
