The Director of Law, HR and Asset Management sought the Cabinet’s approval for a Graduate Recruitment and Development Programme. The report gave details of how the programme would work. The recruitment and training costs would be funded in the first instance by the Merseyside Improvement and Efficiency Programme via the “Merseyside BEST” Project, and was therefore at no cost to Wirral.

Resolved – That,

(1) Cabinet notes and approves the proposed approach and Graduate Programme;

(2) Cabinet notes and approves the roles identified to support the Programme (including the Mentor role).
