Emerging Talent at Arcadis

Arcadis supports the development of skills through its Emerging Talent Program...

A two-year internal training scheme which is approved by the Institute of Civil Engineers. The program is designed to increase the development of young people within the organization, including apprentices, year in industry students, sponsored students, work experience placements, summer placements and the graduate community, therefore building sustainable skills.

Arcadis has committed to developing its UK workforce to include 5% to be on a training program of some form under the age of 25.

We are a member of the 5% club - an employer driven organization to increase the development of skills in the age group 16-24. Despite the 5% criteria of increasing the employment and career prospects of today's youth, we are achieving 8% - demonstrating our commitment towards a brighter future for young people in Britain!

Graduate Development

At Arcadis we operate a 70:20:10 approach to learning and development.  We recognize that 70% of what you learn, you learn by doing it on the job and 20% you learn from your peers and experienced members of your team. That's an amazing 90% of your learning that comes from applying your knowledge and learning through others in a collaborative way. The additional 10% will come from support courses run by either your line manager or the training team.

Apprenticeships

In addition to being enrolled on an approved Apprenticeship framework, Apprentices are enrolled, together with the Graduates, on the Emerging Talent Scheme to provide them with the training and support they need to successfully complete their studies. The training modules are carried out over a period of two years, and provide a flavour and understanding of Stakeholder Management, Commerciality, Personal Development and Team Working.

We work with local schools, colleges, and other communities to advertise these opportunities.

Apprentices receive pastoral care and support internally, in addition to the development of skills by Training Providers. Mentors are used to support career development, identified in locations to enable personal growth.
