Personal Effectiveness and Leadership Programme
For over 30 years the Ibec Academy has been developing graduates with Commercial, Financial, Business and Soft Skills that enable already highly (technically) qualified new hires, to contribute and perform immediately within their roles.
Our proven, structured programme, rooted in Ibec’s highly successful ‘Global Graduate Programme’ has been designed to align with and compliment an organisation’s existing development structures, bringing our unique Ibec business expertise and experience, enhancing skill, confidence and an understanding of the broader organisational goals.

This programme was built based on conversations over the years between Ibec and employers, identifying the skills required by top young talent when entering the workforce. This powerful and practical programme is a perfect addition to an organisation's graduate development plan. Through identifying and investing in your graduates at an early stage, you are building loyalty, ensuring long term benefits for the company.
By offering this diploma within your graduate programme, your graduates will:
-
Build key skills identified by employers to thrive in the world of work
-
Develop confidence, competence and knowledge needed in all businesses
-
Learn how to work with others
-
Understand commercial goals
-
Build their strengths and leadership styles
They also work on key projects that are identified within the business, completing learning journals which are focused on applying their learning in a real way in all their roles throughout the programme.
Each programme participant is required to complete an individual assignment which is a paper on a business improvement relevant to your organisation.
As the programmes progresses, they receive feedback on their strengths and areas of potential through personality profiling exercises together with a range of interactive and engaging exercises as part of the programme.
