Telegraph Media Group's CHRO, Richard Morgan, on fostering young talent

Telegraph Media Group (TMG) has launched a new editorial graduate programme to equip young talent in acquiring a diverse skill set.

The learning and development programme, of up to 4 years, combines professional training, collaborative projects and custom-designed courses at Columbia Journalism School and Bournemouth University.

Richard Morgan, Chief Human Resources Officer at TMG says: “TMG has evolved at phenomenal pace over the past few years, so we wanted to revolutionise our graduate programme to help develop the skills and mind-set that ensures our young talent is alive to the industry trends, organisational objectives and commercial ambitions that will enable our future success.

“Our programme will unlock the benefits of having diverse young talent in our business from the outset and develop their careers faster. Over the next five years, we aim to create the brightest talent with the most diverse and modern skill-set in UK media.”
