About the SW Grad Scheme Directory

Gradsouthwest’s SW Grad Scheme Directory is a guide to the range of graduate schemes, programmes and traineeships available in the South West.

Covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Bristol & the West of England; the Directory aims to help those graduates that want to work in the South West find graduate employment.

There are 3 sections – a full listing of employers offering schemes with graduate web address, and then listings by county area and by sector.

You may be surprised by how many options there are to do a grad scheme in the region!

This is the first year Gradsouthwest has pulled together a Directory following requests from students for more information about what is available in the region.

Our aim is to provide an easy to read guide that students have access to that helps them find suitable schemes in the region.

Don't forget, most employers don't even offer grad schemes, so we will of course continue to advertise 100s of graduate job vacancies throughout the year - so whether it's a grad scheme or a job you want - Gradsouthwest is the place to go!

We would love for you to provide feedback, and make additions and alterations to the Directory to make it even better in future years.

Gradsouthwest’s Top Tips

Great graduates don't need to go it alone - there's heaps of free, independent information, advice and guidance out there to give you the competitive edge.

Becoming a graduate opens up a number of possibilities for you, including further postgraduate study, starting your own business, a graduate scheme, graduate job or even the gap year you never had!

Getting a Graduate Job

You're not short of options - from internships, jobs with SMEs, larger organisations and graduate schemes.

The best advice we can give you is to APPLY! It might sound obvious but recruiters in the south west sometimes struggle to find a good field of candidates so you should grasp the nettle. When employers write jobs adverts, they are defining their ideal candidate. Chances are, the successful candidate will be the best fit and won't have everything they ask for. There's some wriggle room. If you can meet most of the criteria and can demonstrate that you are enthusiastic and quick to learn, you are in with a chance. So take it. Apply, apply, apply.

Here are a few pointers for when you do:
