Call of the Wild know how important it is for a company’s graduate intake to hit the ground running .

Our Approach
Before undertaking any graduate development programmes we will discuss your organisation’s needs and begin to create a tailor-made solution for your staff. Our programmes are designed to compliment your internal development processes and meet the requirements of different types of managers – be they new managers, trainee or senior managers with years of experience looking to freshen up their approach.
Our philosophy is based on a blended learning approach to enhancing performance.

We couldn’t put it any better than this:
“Tell me, and I will forget.
Show me, and I may remember.
Involve me, and I will understand.” – Confucius
Transfer to the Workplace
This would be in the form of written course material and personal learning logs. There would also be the option to further embed learning through the use of our Online Development Academy.
Our facilitators can provide personal profiles and individual feedback on new employees. We also offer an ongoing service to ensure that individual learning is continued when back at work.
