Best Practice Insights The Pathway to Progress: From outreach to employment to progression True Potential believes that youth outreach and talent acquisition programmes should not be delivered as standalone activities – and certainly should not be considered ‘tick box’ or merely ‘CSR’ exercises. There is a much bigger prize at play. The company urges that they are run with purpose and focus on a natural strengths process that factors in disadvantaged areas. Crucially, they must give candidates of all backgrounds a real opportunity of employment and a clear path towards a flourishing career with a contextual focus on an individual’s life journey. While this may consume more management and HR time in recruitment processes, it ultimately ensures candidates are selected on a broader range of considerations. True Potential has achieved this as part of its pathway that has three stages – outreach, employment and progression – and that are seamlessly connected and managed with one overriding goal: To create a pathway towards success at work based on talent, attitude and aptitude.
