- Build a connected community by keeping learners, placed Associates, and alumni engaged through communication, events, development, and recognition.
- Bring teams together by creating clear, practical ways of working for consistent Associate support and clear next steps.
- Continuously improve the experience by using placement data, client insight, and Associate feedback to strengthen career readiness, placement outcomes, and future cohort planning.
- Provide demand insight and clear briefs to the Talent Acquisition team for effective planning.
- Take ownership of the Associate placement journey once training begins.
Requirements
