A business simulation designed for graduates starting a career in a major transport and aviation company
A powerful simulation, designed to help graduates transition from academia and into the UK’s biggest transport and aviation organisation. Centred around two powerful simulations, and supported by insightful workshops, the programme provided graduates with an immersive experience to explore and develop key skills and behaviours needed to thrive at the start of their careers.
Delivery: UK, in-person
Industry: Transport and aviation
The project
The UK’s largest transport and aviation organisation wanted to equip their graduate intake with the skills and behaviours needed to make a confident step up from academia to a high-performance corporate environment. They sought a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that would quickly embed practical business skills and foster professional behaviours set in the context of their organisation and industry.
Our solution
We designed and delivered an immersive development programme centred on two high-impact business simulations. These simulations recreated the complex, fast-paced challenges graduates would face in their new roles, encouraging them to apply critical thinking, collaboration, and decision-making skills in a safe yet realistic environment. To deepen learning and reflection, we complemented the simulations with a series of targeted workshops led by experienced facilitators and industry experts.
Key elements included…
Mirroring real-world transport and aviation scenarios – one set in the context of airport operations, and the second set in the context of a typical airline business
To build critical skills such as communication, teamwork, and commercial awareness
To connect experiences back to organisational values and behaviours
Across the cohort and in the business.
The impact
Graduates left the programme energised and better prepared for the challenges of their new roles. The simulations not only boosted their technical understanding but also helped them develop the behaviours and mindset essential for success in a fast-moving, safety-critical industry. By creating a memorable, engaging, and practical learning journey, our client positioned themselves as an employer deeply invested in graduate development, helping to lay a strong foundation for an early careers pipeline going forward.
