Orientation: Research on the existence of the relationship between the GTPs and TM has been necessitated by the significant organisational resources invested in the administration of GTPs. Withal, the valueof GTPs to an organisation’s TM initiatives needs to be ascertained because both variables are applied to ensurethat future staffing requirements are met. Research purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the graduate trainee program (GTP) and talent management (TM) in corporate organisations in Eswatini. Motivation for the study: Corporates need toexplore administering GTPs as structured processes such as workplace training and development programs so that they significantly contribute to TM. Research approach/design and method: A quantitative explanatory design was applied to carry out the study.The population was five corporate organisations in Eswatini that administer GTPs. The respondents weregraduate trainees (GTs),who met all the requirements prescribed by the inclusion criteria. Main findings: While the results indicated a null hypothesis in the relationship between GTPs and TM a strong correlation was found. The conclusion drawn is that the strong correlation ( r = 0.511), between GTPs and TM, is attributed to the lack of integration and the parallel and independent administration of GTPs to TM, which invalidated a link between the two variables. Practical/managerial implications: The value to be derived by corporates administering GTPs may be elusive if the relationship between GTPs and TM remains unexplored. Contribution/value-add: Corporate organisationswill administer GTPs as effective management tools applied to ensure TM.

埃斯瓦蒂尼企业组织的研究生见习计划与人才管理之间的关系

定位：研究GTP与TM之间关系的存在是由于在GTP管理方面投入了大量的组织资源所致。总而言之，必须确定GTP对组织的TM计划的价值，因为应用了两个变量来确保满足将来的人员配备要求。研究目的：本研究的目的是评估Eswatini公司组织中的研究生培训计划（GTP）与人才管理（TM）之间的关系。研究的动机：企业需要探索将GTP作为结构化过程（如工作场所培训和发展计划）进行管理，以便对TM做出重大贡献。研究方法/设计和方法：采用定量解释设计进行研究。人口是Eswatini中五个管理GTP的公司组织。受访者是符合入选标准规定的所有要求的研究生。主要发现：尽管结果表明GTP与TM之间的关系没有假设，但相关性很强。得出的结论是，GTP与TM之间的强相关性（r = 0.511）归因于GTP对TM的缺乏整合以及并行和独立的管理，这使两个变量之间的联系无效。实际/管理意义：如果GTP和TM之间的关系仍待探索，那么管理GTP的公司所获得的价值可能难以捉摸。贡献/增值：公司组织将GTP作为有效的管理工具进行管理，以确保TM。
