GradWeb, the experts in graduate recruitment, have been retained for a third successive year by the Employersí Organisation to undertake the recruitment of 100 high calibre graduates into the National Graduate Development Programme for local government (NGDP); the first graduate recruitment programme to be undertaken on a national scale within local government.
The NGDP is aimed at recruiting talented graduates into local government, which is the biggest employer in the UK, and developing these candidates by providing them with the skills, knowledge and experience for a long-term management career.
The graduates who join the two-year programme are given the chance to be part of a nation wide network of new recruits, placed within a number of local authorities within England and Wales. They have the opportunity to work in a number of departments, as well as share information and best practices learned from working in their host authority, and they also follow a postgraduate management course tailored to local government at Warwick University.
