Thu, 23 May 2013Telecoms giant Vodafone UK is to recruit 400 graduates over the next five years on to an expanded graduate programme.
This is a major increase from the firm’s recent graduate intakes, having recruited a total of 50 individuals straight from university since 2010. The new scheme sees graduates spend two years in a number of different placements across the business, up from the current 12-month graduate programme.
Year one consists of two months on a high-street retail store, followed by two five-month rotations across the business, and the new second year will be made up of a single year-long placement.
Vodafone UK chief executive officer Guy Laurence claims he will “always spend time with them [graduate hires] as their ideas are interesting and we can learn as much from them as they do from us”.
Interested applicants are directed to the Vodafone website when the programme re-opens in the autumn.
