Client and context

Changan Motors brings new Management Trainee Officers and Trainee Engineers into the business. Early in their careers, these professionals need the interpersonal and professional skills that complement their technical training.

02

Organisational need

A development journey for newly hired early-career professionals, delivered as four spaced interventions rather than a single event.

03

Audience

Newly hired Management Trainee Officers (MTOs) and Trainee Engineers.

04

Zest's intervention

Four interventions delivered over approximately six months, part of our Corporate Finesse Series for professional effectiveness:

  1. 01

    Personal Branding & Communication Skills

    How new professionals present themselves and communicate at work.

  2. 02

    Emotional Intelligence

    Self-awareness, self-management and working with others.

  3. 03

    Negotiation Skills

    Preparing for and conducting negotiations with confidence.

  4. 04

    Teamwork & Collaboration

    Working effectively across teams and functions.

05

Why spacing matters

Spreading the interventions across around six months, rather than delivering them back to back, is designed to give participants time to apply each skill in their roles between sessions.
