INDUCTING GRADUATES INTO INDUSTRY
Abstract
Does the induction process used by companies have implications for the careers of individuals and the retention and development of manpower by those companies? This article, in considering the induction of graduates in industrial companies, argues that the new recruit may have conflicting needs and that his treatment may be affected by the need for departmental managers to meet operational criteria as well as develop staff. It describes one company's induction scheme designed to compromise between the conflicting needs of graduate recruits, and examines its implications for the graduates both in the first two to three months and in the first two years.
