Case Study: BHP Billiton builds future leaders with DeakinCo. Graduate Advancement Program

BHP Billiton - Customer Case Study

BHP Billiton, a major global mining company operating across 100 locations, needed to prepare its graduate cohort for future leadership roles. The challenge was to build not just technical knowledge, but also the communication, teamwork, and leadership skills required to achieve results through others.

DeakinCo. addressed this with the Graduate Advancement Program, an interactive, individual-centered leadership development experience combining practical activities, outdoor exercises, self-awareness sessions, and an action-learning project. DeakinCo.’s approach helped graduates become more self-aware, confident, and effective in teams; participants praised the program for boosting their leadership confidence and ability to express ideas, and BHP Billiton benefited from having stronger future leaders ready for a volatile and changing industry.
