Program equips grads with key workplace skills for immediate career impact

Australia’s rising stars are being awarded a programme to accelerate their workplace success.

As part of its commitment to empowering the next generation as well as social responsibility and building stronger communities, early talent development leader, Development Beyond Learning (DBL), has given DBL elevate to all winners of the prestigious GradConnection Top100 Future Leaders Awards.

Creating Pathways to Success in a Challenging Landscape

Today’s graduates face significant workplace integration challenges. Employers demand certain human skills, which are in decline amongst the younger generation and addressing this with a targeted programme will be crucial to their career success.

“Young people are the foundation of our company’s mission,” says Pete Humphreys, CEO of DBL. “We wanted to offer these exceptional 100 winners something truly transformative that addresses the real challenges they face when transitioning from education to employment.

By fast-tracking their resilience, communication and leadership development, the winners will enter employment equipped with adaptability capabilities that set them apart in today’s competitive job market.

Employers recognise that there are barriers during the transition between classroom and the workplace which can hinder career progression and overall success, but a few have implemented comprehensive solutions.

“We believe that our targeted initiative will deliver meaningful benefits for both the individual and their future employer,” explains Pete.
