Virgin Money’s two-year graduate programme combines four work placements with a multi-modular development programme.

Module 1, Leading in the Organisation, focuses on understanding self and others. It explores blockers to high performance, leadership, management and followership.

The 'In Conversation with' work-based project is a collaborative task that culminates in presenting to the leadership team and senior stakeholders. A follow-up webinar explores effective teamwork.

Module 2, Leading Beyond Authority, takes a deeper dive into self-reflection, the interpersonal skills of communication and the leadership tool of coaching.

We want every experience to really challenge our colleagues and graduates, to help them step outside their comfort zones and to get them thinking differently. It's crucial for us to also work with some really brilliant partners who can bring their expertise and share it with a group of graduates."

'Highly recommend Impact International if you’re looking for a bespoke Leadership Program to lift capability, improve self-awareness, build trust and connection with your Senior Leaders. Together we developed a great partnership, they really listened to our needs, and adapted quickly to our ever changing needs (during COVID). They oozed professionalism throughout the development and design but we also enjoyed great laughs along the way.'
