So what does the programme mean for you? Being part of Foundation means you will be assigned a Professional Development Manager who will work closely with your day to day task manager to manage your individual career and development. Your PDM will work with you to set your objectives, review your performance, help you develop your skills and help you with your future career planning. It means you will always have someone focussing on your career development and your future as opposed to just someone looking at your day to day work.
