Our Developing Talent Internship Programme is Highly Commended

Kisiel Group was Highly Commended for Graduate Programme of the Year at the CN Workforce Awards, held at the Grosvenor House on Park Lane on 8 November 2022. We could not have anticipated this when we took on our first intern from a local university in July 2020. That led to our Developing Talent Internship Programme, and fifteen interns have since joined, all completing their degrees.

The judges commented: “This is a very strong intern programme, an impressive example of growing something from scratch at pace that has made a significant impression on the business. With clear aims and ambition around EDI and the future of the industry, Kisiel have quickly introduced measures to diversify their workforce and given graduates the licence to develop their skills whilst being supported by a close knit support team and a quality training offer. This submission demonstrates a valuable investment by an SME in graduates and future professionals, all judges Highly Commended Kisiel.”

We believe in helping the next generation develop their skills in a supportive environment, and these interns will encourage more young people into the industry. We are very proud of what the programme has achieved.
