BACKGROUND
An Australian bank’s Head of Engineering, introduced the Leaders IT Capacity Uplift Solutions Program (CUSP) to their team. Responsible for overall engineering operations, infrastructure, and corporate functions, the team played a crucial role in determining the organisation's information technology goals and objectives. They faced an increased demand for capacity, particularly for Developers and DevOps Engineers. However, budget constraints limited access to mid-level contingent staff
with the necessary technology skills and the shortage of talent in the market led to escalating rates.
APPROACH
This situation presented an opportunity to explore the use of Leaders IT's CUSP initiative, which focuses on developing technology talent in a 12-month on-site program. Eight consultants were drawn from three pools: recent graduates, those
returning to work, and those transitioning to new careers. The program included accredited technical training and 10 workshops of professional skills development, underpinned by 26 mentorship sessions. During the 12 months, the consultants worked on-site, receiving structured development objectives aligned to the requirements of the team.
IMPACT
Six of the eight consultants went on to gain permanent positions. Four to permanent positions at the organisation, showcasing CUSP's effectiveness in talent development and retention. Furthermore, two consultants gained permanent employment at other organisations, illustrating the program's impact beyond the original workplace. Overall, this initiative not only addressed the bank’s immediate capacity needs, but also significantly contributed to the team's long-term talent acquisition objectives.
