EVOLVE GRADUATE PROGRAMME
For many grads and interns this might be their first job. Being able problem solve, make simple decisions, or know how to ask for help might not come naturally. These simple skills may seem obvious to some but to fresh faced grads or interns, not so much.
Four sessions
Our grads and interns programme is made up of four independent sessions:
- Evolve me
- Mindset
- Resilience
- Career
This means spending a lot of your time helping them learn the basics. And while spending time with grads and interns to mentor and coach is important, failing to give them a good start could mean wasting more time than needed.
This is why laughology has put together a series of workshops to help. The workshops below can be taken as stand alone sessions or as part of a programme. We can work with you to slot them into your time table or develop timings around what you would like. Each workshop is one full day but timings can be tweaked to suit.
