Breakfast News - November 2024

The level of support for Early Careers Programmes varies by organisation driven by C-Suite’s belief in the short and long-term benefit. Early Careers leaders are often under pressure to demonstrate Return on Investment for their existing programmes or to make a case for more investment.  

C-Suite engagement is vital for making the case for Early Careers Programmes and securing the investment required for successful delivery.  However, the level of engagement with C-Suite varies across the Early Careers sector.

Inspired by GTI Breakfast News “A View from the top” (November 2024), this document sets out the challenge and an approach for achieving effective engagement through:

• Understanding why early careers matter to the C-Suite (and could matter more in some cases)
• Recognising concerns the C-Suite have with investing in early careers
• Making the business case and developing ways to increase your visibility and influence as an Early Careers leader
• Building awareness of which stakeholders can help you and how, in your role as an Early Careers leader

We have provided a simple diagnostic and actions tool which can help early careers leaders progress their peer and C-Suite relationships and scale their impact.

If you would like support in influencing the C-Suite or making business cases, please let us know. The Cibyl team can help with a diagnostic and bring student perspectives and data to help support recommendations. Please contact emailcibyl@groupgti.com.
