Akonia Information

At Akonia we are experts at helping organisations to develop essential business skills in their young – typically graduate – employees. We work with Directors, HR and Training managers who struggle to attract top calibre young people to their organisation and retain them for the long-term. Research shows that 1 in 4 graduate employees is likely to leave their Employer within 1 year and this costs organisations a fortune in further recruitment. Many businesses are put off recruiting young employees altogether because of their lack of experience. They agree that most young people are not ready for the world of work and therefore are concerned how to develop them. Employers would like young employees who: • add value to the business • who have a good work ethic • show commitment to getting the job done • demonstrate good communication skills with colleagues and clients What separates our service from other training providers is that we are dedicated to developing the potential of young employees with our unique comprehensive graduate-style development programme, known as GradStart. Our clients save time and money by removing the need to recruit an in-house training team, and avoid the time-consuming hassle of sourcing, purchasing and managing multiple business skills courses.
