Harris Lamb introduces graduate employment scheme
Property consultancy Harris Lamb is introducing a graduate employment scheme to help students finishing degrees secure jobs and gain additional experience within the workplace.
The business, which is celebrating 25 years in business this year, also plans to work with universities across the Midlands to form relationships with course leaders and offer work placements for students pursuing a career in property.
Director Richard Fantham said: “Over the past 25 years, we’ve appointed a number of graduates, and helped support more than 20 members of the team further their education and experience right up to being awarded Chartered status, so this is a natural progression.
“Last year, we were awarded an outstanding Investors In People report, with us being commended for the training and support we provided to staff to help them advance and achieve their goals within the industry.
“We wanted to build on that feedback, and having announced our intention to continue our growth plans for the business this year, working with universities and colleges to identify and recruit graduates and help take them to the next level will form a key part of that.”
Recently the business supported Sara Elwell, based in Birmingham, to achieve Chartered status.
She said: “From the moment I joined Harris Lamb in 2013, the directors were really supportive and helped me to gain experience in various departments to pass the APC.
“The business has a strong reputation for its commitment to investing in and developing its team, and in particular, Neil Harris and Charles D’Auncey dedicated a lot of time to helping me meet the required standards to move onto the next stage of my career, just as they’re now doing with a number of my colleagues.”
