Applications for 2025 are now open. You can apply here.
Our Graduate Development Programme started in September 2018 since when we have recruited 48 trainees across seven cohorts. The two-year traineeship offers talented graduates from Nottinghamshire the opportunity to develop their leadership and management capabilities through accessing six-month placements across different services and departments within the organisation. Our programme is designed to shape the next generation of senior local government managers, providing insight and experience in the decisions required to provide over 400 services to more than 800,000 local people.
We’re now once again looking for talented, ambitious recent graduates and final year students to join us.
To be eligible you need to meet one of the following criteria:
- Currently studying at Nottingham Trent University or the University of Nottingham
- Resident of Nottinghamshire or Nottingham
- Currently employed by the County Council.
You will also need to have either graduated in the last five years or expect to graduate during summer 2025 with a 2:1 degree or above in any subject.
If you think you have what it takes to make a positive difference to the people of Nottinghamshire and to help us deliver on the aims and aspirations of our 10-year Council Plan, then find out more about the scheme here before applying.
