We offer a range of in-company executive career development programmes. We specialise in helping organisations create career development conversations to help retain talented staff.
Programmes and services available:
JLA’s career management programmes are tailored to the needs of the individual rather than being a preset set of meetings and exercises. All of our consultants have extensive business experience as well as being proficient career coaches.
Programmes are offered nationally up to executive level.
