Graduate transition modules
What we do: Graduates and early career
Building successful and sustainable careers
Graduates stepping into the workforce today are entering a very different work environment from their predecessors.
Drawing from our extensive experience and research on supporting early career professionals, we help your grads focus on developing critical skills in early career, such as:
- Reducing risk of burnout
- Managing feedback
- Building psychological flexibility
- Adjusting to workplace expectations
- Bouncing back from setbacks
- How to foster connection
and more.
Graduate/Early Career Sessions
We’re proud to offer four transition skills sessions to support early career workers to thrive. All of these sessions are 1.5 hours, but can be extended to two hours to allow for more discussion.
Every organisation has a unique set of needs. Our graduate sessions are designed to deliver results as standalone sessions to supplement your offering, or as a package as support or alongside your existing graduate program.
All sessions are 1.5 hours, but can be extended to two hours to allow for more discussion.
Changeability
Building psychological flexibility, learning how to work through uncertainty and discomfort, and developing information-seeking skills.
Graduates will gain a framework to navigate transitions, leveraging strengths and establishing a ‘new normal’.
- Develop an understanding of the difference between transition and change.
- Explore their individual strengths and opportunities in relation to this transition (using their customised report).
- Consider key evidence-based strategies and skills important for: new roles (e.g. ‘small fish in big pond’); new relationships (e.g. communicating across
multiple generations); new routines (e.g. setting up for hybrid work success) and changing assumptions (e.g. how feedback is delivered in the workplace).
Adaptability
Practising strategic reflection, and exploring new ways of thinking about work, and career progression.
The workshop introduces graduates to tools for navigating constant change and non-linear career journeys, fostering skills for adaptability across the whole of career.
Graduates will have the opportunity to come together to:
- Understanding adaptability, and how it relates to proteon career attitudes.
- Explore the concept of adaptability in the context of key graduate program (e.g. business unit rotations).
- Apply these skills through interactive case studies exploring common scenarios faced by graduates including low confidence and rotation uncertainty.
Sustainability
Building healthy work habits that will set foundations for a sustainable working life.
This workshop provides practical evidence-based strategies for proactively maintaining a sustainable approach to work and life wellbeing.
- Discover the knowledge base around sustainable careers.
- Lay the foundations of sustainable careers using guided self-reflection exercises that explore career-related beliefs, purpose, interests, and values.
- Explore how career sustainability intersects with health, wellbeing and thriving in work and non-work areas of life.
- Identify how to maintain a continuous learning mindset.
- Recognise the psychosocial hazards that may disrupt their capacity to sustain a career over the long term and determine strategies to overcome them.
Wellbeing
Increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of poor mental health at work, and what to do about it.
Graduates can expect to walk away with an understanding of:
- The signs and symptoms of poor mental health.
- The situations and factors that can affect mental health at work.
- The importance of self-care, and how incorporating into day-to-day life.
- Those mixed feelings you may experience in a work context.
- Strategies to support themselves, and others, to manage mental health at work.
