Learning and development boost graduate retention at AIB: Program proves cost‐effective at height of Celtic Tiger economic boom

A learning and development program proved a cost‐effective way to attract, develop and retain graduates within AIB, Ireland’s largest financial‐services organization. Graduate retention increased by 12 percent during the two‐year program, which coincided with the height of the Celtic Tiger economic boom. During the two years before the program, graduation retention had been falling at the bank.
