Hit the Ground Running
Addressing the challenges for new talent and turning them into professional chartered accountants.
What is Hit the Ground Running?
'Hit the Ground Running' presents the key discussion points and conclusions from two round table events hosted by the ICAEW’s Learning and Professional Development team.
The roundtables aimed to provide insight into the challenges faced by UK organisations as they support graduates in their transition to becoming chartered accountants.
Why is it important?
This dialogue is essential in order to understand the challenges faced by our clients across all sectors of the economy. This understanding will enable us to take a leading role in providing support and advice where it is needed.
Generation Y and the workplace
With a new generation of individuals now dominating the graduate market, it is more important than ever to understand the behavioural traits and motivational drivers they bring into the workplace.
Generation Y enter the workplace with a level of self confidence and desire for immediate success. As we enter a period of economic instability, managing the expectations of this generation is a major factor in the successful initiation and integration of new trainees into the accountancy arena.
Changing face of the UK talent pool
The discussions hosted by the Institute have provided a valuable insight into the current climate and the changing face of the UK talent pool. The report is well timed given the current economic climate as a downturn in the economy will increase the importance of effective recruitment and effective training models.
