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.

Sample workshop plan: 4 workshop days, hands-on
These are the classroom days inside the campus to corporate journey. The three-day induction bootcamp turns college habits into work habits: ownership, clear emails and status updates, planning a real week and working in a team under pressure, ending with a business game and the launch of each pod's real project. At day 90, the showcase brings pods back to present their project outcomes to managers, and each joiner compares their day-one starting line with where they stand now.
Joiners leave with a clear picture of what ownership and professional conduct look like here, and a first draft of their personal 90-day plan.

A 60-day (Fast track) to 120-day (Extended) journey built around a three-day in-person induction bootcamp (09:30–17:30) in the first ten days and a half-day showcase at day 90, with buddies, pod projects, virtual labs, microlearning and coaching in between. A sample design: every Bodhih program is customised after a short needs analysis.
How long is the bootcamp in the campus to corporate learning journey?
The recommended design has a three-day in-person induction bootcamp, from 09:30 to 17:30, within the first ten days, and a half-day showcase at day 90. The whole journey runs 60 to 120 days. For distributed batches, the bootcamp runs as six live virtual sessions of three hours over two weeks.
What activities are included in the campus to corporate learning journey workshops?
Joiners practise on real-looking work. They sort college habits into keep, adapt and drop, rewrite emails and status updates, run a video kick-off call with hidden role cards, run an IT services firm in a three-round business game, and finish by presenting their pod project to a panel of managers at day 90.

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.
