Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, may run graduate programmes in innovation, strategy and change management, economic and business development, project management and human resources management to give graduates an opportunity to use their skills in their work with the local authority.
The local government sector has a dedicated Graduate Development Programme.
Successful Graduate recruits are employed on a specific temporary contract and given further training when taking part in the programme.
The local authorities invest in the training and development of the Graduates they recruit and they provide supports and experience that the Graduates will need to fulfil their potential.
Graduate recruitment opportunities are advertised on Local Government Jobs as they become available.
