Work that started in this area during decisions and actions: – The overall structure of the GDP is effective and will remain the same, but to ensure that we continuously improve the calibre of applicants, a few changes have been implemented or are currently being piloted in relation to recruitment practises – There is a need for a greater focus on supporting emerging markets and increasing the number of graduates with technical and research and development skills – The need for graduate placements will continue to be driven by regional and local needs, but filtered up through our leadership teams within our global framework – We are piloting a programme in Europe to increase the length of placements for our Engineers from nine months to one year.
