Discover the six key skills you or your employee will build – from professional mindset growth to mastering the art of connection. Plus, find out how the programme is delivered on a monthly basis.
Development areas
Professional practice: Develop confidence in your professional practice. Strengthen habits of ownership, prioritisation and growth. Learn what it means to take responsibility for your work, manage competing demands, and demonstrate integrity and reliability that earn professional trust.
Building connections: Develop genuine professional relationships. Master the art of workplace communication, from emails to stakeholder meetings to difficult conversations. You’ll learn to communicate with influence, adapt your style to different audiences, and build the networks that support long-term career success.
Team and project collaboration: Learn to work effectively across diverse teams with different communication styles, needs and demands. Understand that every engineering decision affects multiple parties, map stakeholder interests, navigate competing priorities and deliver projects that meet both technical specifications and team expectations. Master the art of handovers, documentation and coordinating with other disciplines.
Delivering results: Move beyond meeting requirements to exceeding expectations. Learn to manage projects, meet deadlines, and maintain quality standards while recognising that technical perfection doesn’t always deliver the best outcome. Balance technical skills with commercial reality, implementation constraints and what will actually work in practice.
Feedback and growth: Turn feedback into fuel for growth. Develop resilience and learn to seek out constructive criticism proactively. Build the emotional intelligence to separate your work from your identity, allowing you to improve without taking feedback personally.
Professional judgement: Build confidence in your professional judgement while knowing when to seek senior input or specialist expertise. Strengthen your critical thinking to assess risk, make decisions with incomplete information, and justify recommendations that balance technical, commercial and ethical considerations.
