Developing your career
Structured development from day 1
At HURST you will benefit from an industry leading structured development programme, outside any technical training you will receive. These sessions take place face to face at our stunning Stockport HQ or offsite. There are three pathways to choose from, if you want to take part:
- Trainee to Senior
- Senior to Manager
- Manager to Partner
The sessions are led by highly experienced external trainers who only work with the country's leading professional services firms.
