Graduate Opportunities Wales launched this year with additional funding from the European Union to help around 4,000 students and graduates in Wales over the next 3 years.
GO Wales offers undergraduates and graduates the chance to get a head start in today’s competitive job market by offering a range of career development programmes.
What we can offer you during 2009:
Work Placements & Work Tasters
Students can benefit from paid Work Placements during the summer period and voluntary Work Tasters all year round. Work Placements are normally in 10 week blocks and give you the opportunity to complete a project for a local business; you can apply for Placements via the GO Wales website.
If you are looking for work experience during term time Work Tasters are the perfect solution; we can help you to gain work based experience with local employers which will be flexible to fit around your studies.
Work Placements & Work Tasters
Graduates can apply for Work Placements all year round and Work Tasters may be a particularly good idea if you are looking for a career change and need to gain some work based experience in a particular sector/industry.
Graduate Training and Development Fund
If you are a graduate working for a small to medium sized business in Wales and would like to participate in training that would benefit you and the business you work for; we may be able to part-fund the training up to £1,500. Your employer would need to make an application on your behalf (we can also assist sole traders). Please visit www.gowales.co.uk/training for more information.
GO Wales Jobs
The ‘Jobs’ section of the website lists a range of graduate level positions in Wales; you can search and apply for these online.
