Nurturing Tomorrow’s Leaders

The programme provides a focused pathway to nurture tomorrow’s leaders, enabling recent graduates to gain valuable experience, develop leadership skills, and fast-track their journey towards becoming a future Dawsongroup business leader.

The programme runs for 24 months and introduces our specially selected trainees to various aspects of the business; including Operations, Sales, Fleet, Engineering, and Contracts.

The two-year programme begins with the foundation year, which provides the trainees with a grounding in all things Dawsongroup and allows them the opportunity to work across the breadth of the business to experience working in different roles and within different teams. In the second year, the trainees focus on a selected key area of the business.

We focus on:

Skills – We offer our trainees a structured learning environment, where they gain practical experience and develop the skills to excel in their chosen field.

Leadership – We offer our trainees opportunities to take the lead within teams and projects, alongside leadership mentoring.

Cultural – Being part of the GMT programme allows our trainees to get to know the company culture, values, and our Smarter Asset Strategy.

Communication Skills – For our trainees, we teach effective communication, which is vital for collaborating with colleagues, leading teams, and presenting ideas.

Problem-solving – The GMT programme teaches our trainees to analyse problems, make decisions, and implement solutions; a key aspect of management that we are looking for.

Resilience – Our trainees develop the ability to bounce back from setbacks and stay motivated.

Career – Our programme is designed with retention in mind; we want to find the right role for each graduate and provide them with a platform to build their future career. The goal of the GMT programme is to find and develop future leaders!
