Step 1 of 6 · Company context

Your engineering company

So the plan is scaled to your size, disciplines and project footprint - not a generic template.

Step 2 of 6 · Team & pipeline

Team structure & project pipeline

Your team shape sets your senior engineer leverage - how much graduate supervision you can carry without denting delivery. Enter your current headcount by level.

Low Moderate High
Step 3 of 6 · Program intent

What you run today & where you want to get to

This anchors the recommended program shape and intake sustainability.

Casual undergrad intern 8-week intern 12-week intern 12-month graduate 24-month graduate
Casual = a part-time undergraduate doing real work under one supervisor - no rotation, no formal program. The report adapts to whichever you pick.
Attraction Assessment Mentoring Onboarding Retention Salary competitiveness
Step 4 of 6 · Mentor capacity

Mentor capacity

The binding constraint on any graduate program. Graduates without real technical supervision stall or leave.

Leave blank and we'll estimate from your senior / mid bench.
Under 1 hr 1–3 hrs 3+ hrs
Step 5 of 6 · Intake timing

Intake plan

Graduate campaigns run to the university academic calendar - we'll build a campaign calendar around your target.

Step 6 of 6 · Attract, assess, retain

Attraction, assessment & retention

Where most engineering companies are strongest or weakest. Honest answers give a sharper report.
