A campus to corporate learning journey is a 60 to 120 day development path that turns graduate hires into productive professionals. It starts with baseline aptitude, English and workstyle assessments, runs an induction bootcamp, then adds buddies, microlearning, real projects, manager check-ins and a post-assessment, so new joiners reach productivity faster and stay longer.

Why a journey, not a one-off workshop
The first 90 days shape whether a graduate becomes productive and stays. Spacing the learning over three months, with real work in between, turns induction content into habits.
A 2015 replication confirmed Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve: memory of newly learned material drops fastest in the period soon after learning.
A review of 317 experiments found that spacing learning over time gives better long-term retention than massing it into one session.

Frequently asked questions
What is a campus to corporate learning journey?
A 60 to 120 day program that turns graduate hires into productive professionals through assessments, an induction bootcamp, buddies, projects, coaching, microlearning and a day-90 assessment.
How long should graduate onboarding last?
Most organisations need 60 to 120 days. A short bootcamp starts the process, but habits form through work and follow-up over the first three months.
What assessments are used for new graduates?
Typically an aptitude battery, a workplace English check and a workstyle profile on AssessAll at the start, and a post-assessment at day 90 to show progress.
Can the journey start before joining?
Yes. The pre-joining edition uses online modules and assessments so joiners arrive prepared, which helps reduce drop-outs before day one.
Does it work for large batches?
Yes. Batches of 25 to 60 are split into pods of 8 to 10, each with a facilitator, buddies and group coaching.
Is this program fixed?
No. It is one of two sample soft skills journeys. Bodhih customises the content, duration and assessments for your roles and industry.
