ProGrad Brisbane

ProGrad is a graduate recruitment specialist focusing on assessing, placing and training graduates across a variety of industries.  Our roles are primarily in the business to business sales and marketing teams of some of Australia’s largest organisations. 

Due to the success of this model, we have designed and developed a number of options for other offerings to assist our Clients.  We have recognised that Managing Graduates is often an area which companies require assistance with, and we have therefore put together a course which is available to our Client partners.  The one day workshop is aimed at managers of our graduates, and offers practical, outcome focused sessions to ensure delegates attending are skilled at managing levels of expectation, providing structure, setting goals and KPIs and managing a motivated environment.
