Assessment & Selection of a Graduate Trainee Manager
The individual component – Short report (2000 words)

Define your competencies and key behaviours FIRST
The Conclusions and Recommendations should be written in 3rd person but no referencing needed.

Selection and assessment of a graduate trainee manager
How do companies conduct the process of selection assessment?
Many companies do not do it very well
Many use the traditional approach (NOT sufficient for a management job)
How might we optimise the process to ensure optimal organisational functioning and the fit between what people can do and the jobs that they are selected to do?
A poor selection process will result in organisational failures but also will have negative consequences for the employee
