Team and Leadership Development

Apprentice Programme

A leading support services company with a market capitalisation of £1.2 billion employed DXM to support their world class apprenticeship programme.

Incorporated within this accredited apprenticeship scheme are leadership and team development activities. DXM support these activities by running week long courses at HMS Raleigh, Cornwall. The programmes are a blend of team/leadership theory, with learning from the classroom taken, tested and developed through experiential and outdoor activities.

One of the highlights is for the students to participate in the Royal Navy’s Damage Repair Instructional Unit (DRIU), a sinking ship simulator. Representing the motion of the sea, the simulator rolls whilst cold water floods in from numerous ‘damage’ points. The damage requires the students to work as a cohesive team to repair the flood stricken ‘unit’ within a 45 minute timeline – pressure on!

The week culminates for the apprentices with a presentation to their senior management team on their team and leadership learning journey.
