Prepare Early Careers Using Your People and Your Reality

The transition into work is a major step. Generic onboarding content rarely reflects what new starters actually experience.

Our Early Careers Workplace Ready Hub helps organisations prepare early talent for work using real scenarios, clear expectations, and people from your own business.

This programme is primarily delivered using client-created video content, supported by a proven learning structure. An off-the-shelf option is also available where speed or scale is the priority.

What Is The Hub?

A structured digital learning journey made up of 16 short micro-modules across four capability areas:

  • Professional Foundations

  • Collaboration and Communication

  • Confidence and Self-Awareness

  • Career Ownership and Growth

Each module focuses on a common workplace challenge. Managing priorities. Writing professional messages. Speaking up in meetings. Handling feedback. Building confidence early.

The content is designed for use before day one, during induction, or alongside early development programmes.

Your People on Screen

The most impactful version of this programme features your own Early Careers employees sharing short, authentic video reflections.

They talk about:

  • Challenges they faced when starting

  • Mistakes they made

  • What helped them succeed

  • How things really work in your organisation

This makes the learning feel relevant, credible, and reassuring.

GCA manages the entire process. We brief contributors, provide guidance, edit the videos, and integrate everything into the learning journey. Your internal teams stay lightly involved, but the content feels deeply personal.

The Alternative Option: Off-the-Shelf Content

Where a faster or lighter-touch solution is needed, the programme can be delivered using GCA’s off-the-shelf videos.

The structure, learning outcomes, and scenarios remain the same. Only the on-screen faces change.

This option works well for pilot cohorts, rapid rollouts, or organisations that want a starting point before personalising later.

 

 

How the Learning Works

Each micro-module includes:

  • A short video introducing a realistic workplace challenge

  • Clear guidance on how to handle it professionally

  • Scenario-based reflection to build confidence and judgement

  • Three expert-curated resources to explore the topic further

The programme is self-paced, mobile-friendly, and easy to fit around existing onboarding plans.

Why This Works

It reflects your reality. Using your people removes ambiguity and speeds up learning.

It builds judgement, not scripts. Learners understand why behaviours matter, not just what to say.

It reduces manager burden. New starters arrive better prepared and more self-sufficient.

It creates consistency. Every Early Careers hire gets the same strong foundation.

It builds confidence early. Seeing others navigate the same challenges normalises the transition into work.

The Outcome

Early Careers talent who feel confident, prepared, and able to contribute sooner.

And organisations that see smoother onboarding, faster integration, and stronger early engagement.
