Première

Parity’s award-winning Graduate Management and Development Programme

The Première Programme is designed to help employers recruit, train and retain excellent graduate talent. With more than 15 years experience in developing graduate recruitment solutions, Parity's PREMIÈRE Graduate Development Programme is Northern Ireland's most successful Graduate Management Development Programme and has consistently proved the most profitable choice for Northern Ireland organisations to recruit graduate talent. Over Première’s 15 year history, Parity has recruited and developed over 4000 Graduate Managers and Northern Ireland companies have enjoyed more than £70 million in benefits from increased profit, sales and reduced costs as a result of their participation with the programme.

The key to the success of Premiere has been Parity’s ability to introduce talented graduates to growing local organisations, transferring graduates from general backgrounds into the business leaders of tomorrow. Local organisations benefit from fresh energy through graduates who are keen to pursue careers in Marketing, Operations, Finance, Enterprise, ICT and Human Resources.

Premiere graduates are recruited from a quality pool of applicants and have to complete a selection centre before they can be considered for participation on the programme. Successful applicants then undergo 4 weeks of intensive, practical management training covering all areas of management to ensure that they have knowledge and understanding of all aspects of a commercial operation. Experienced Parity Consultants support the graduate through the first 6 months of their employment, developing additional personal skills such as initiative, creativity, planning and communication that are so vital for success in the workplace.

The Première Programme has won several awards for its quality and delivered benefits and is accredited by Investors in People for the positive impact it has on the graduates who complete the programme.
