Bleum's Fifth Annual Graduate Trainee Program Commences

July 13th 2007, Shanghai From July 9th and for the following several months Bleum commences its annual Graduate Trainee Program. 12 graduates were recruited last year from some of China's most prestigious universities including, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi'an Jiao Tong University, Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Their presence adds a young fresh characteristic to an already vibrant company.

Bleum's "Graduate Trainee Program" is an intensive 3 month course that combines classroom work conducted by external and internal training resources and covers five basic training modules. These include: Bleum Culture and Policy Training, Bleum Process and Work Flow Training, Basic Technical Training, Internal Team on the Job Training, and Pilot Project. Key components of the various training modules are CMMI Systems and Processes and ISO 27001 Security Policies.

After the three month program, graduates will join their allocated project teams. Those who successfully complete the training scheme will be offered formal appointments at the end of the first year. During the training schedule, Bleum holds one team activity for all the new graduates to build relationships and make the new employees feel comfortable working as a team.

"HR issues have continually posed pressure and challenges on companies operating in China," commented Eric Rongley, Bleum CEO and Founder, "we have run Graduate Trainee Scheme for five years and it is proven to be a successful means of attracting, developing and retaining the best talent available in the market place. This can foster and enhance staff's loyalty; the rigorously trained staff will become the bench resources for promotion after years' working experience.  Some of our key staff at Bleum were, in fact, on the Graduate Trainee Scheme we ran."

As reflected in Bleum's company mission, talent is core to the success of delivering the highest quality standards of Bleum's international customers. And apart from the "Graduate Trainee Program", Bleum coordinates a comprehensive training program for all staff including; "Weekly Seminars", "In-house Technical Training", "Offsite Technical Training", and "English & Cultural Awareness Training".
