The OPEN Programme runs over a period of 12 - 18 months and includes three residential modules in the inspiring English Lake District. With a strong emphasis on the importance of self-development, delivering results and accountability, your new graduates will be enrolled onto the programme alongside graduates from other businesses with small group sizes to maximise individual potential.
Its ultimate goal is to create a smooth transition from academia to work life, delivering a structured, ‘results focused’ development and training programme which emulates those used by many of the world's leading graduate recruiters. In particular, it helps develop key business and personal skills including:
- Communicating and influencing
- Planning and organising
- Problem solving and analysis
- Team working
- Personal responsibility
- Leadership
By working in partnership with some excellent training companies Discovery Graduates help turn your 'great' graduate into an 'exceptional' employee.
But don't take our word for it...

"The Discovery Graduates OPEN Programme is a remarkable offering, one that I believe will make a huge difference to the development, future progression and retention of the individuals attending. In such a competitive marketplace, this could make all the difference to the success of an organisation's graduate programme."
Jo Shields
Sigma and Graduate Development Framework Manager
"The Discovery OPEN Programme was quite simply a brilliant learning experience and I have no doubt that I have become a better person for it. I took away from it a clearer understanding of my role within my company, improved internal relations, awareness of my weaknesses as well as strengths and a greater ability to contribute effectively in an emotionally intelligent way to the needs of the business."
James Betterton
