Sector-specific Expertise

When bringing in an external provider for the first time, they weren’t sure where to start. Although the cohort was small, it was comprised of interns who had converted to full-time, campus recruits and lateral hires. This mixed group needed to be equipped with a robust and broad skill set while being focused on one specific sector.

Save Time

Through years of experience, we were able to suggest a program that catered to their needs in just five days, rather than the ten they had originally budgeted for. We delivered some of the more general financial analysis content as adaptive pre-learning in Felix. This allowed students to come to the instructor with any questions this presented, and for us to focus on more specialized and complex topics in the five days.

Collaboration & Customization

We maintained constant communication with subject matter experts from within the business, for a period of months rather than just the weeks leading up to the program, to ensure the materials were hyper-relevant to business needs. An example of this is the teaching model that our instructor adapted from a working model of the clients, introducing digital vocabulary and concepts at the same time. This went through several iterations, with comments from multiple stakeholders, to ensure it was perfect. We also adapted existing Financial Edge real estate content to include specific terms and metrics from their future day-to-day activities.

Desk-ready

At the end of the five days, the new hires had not only acquired a comprehensive technical skill set, but also had experience putting skills into practice with a bespoke teaching model. This inaugural training program made the client’s offering to new hires much more attractive.
