Launch your career with FDM Group

FDM is the UK’s leading IT graduate employer and is responsible for launching the IT careers of over 3,000 industry professionals to date. Unlike most employers, we actively recruit for our graduate programmes all year round in order to keep up with our fast-growing international operations and client demands.  

The FDM Graduate programme eliminates the "catch-22" scenario experienced by many of today′s graduates. Even if you have the necessary qualifications to do the job, it′s usually very hard to get hired unless you have the relevant industry experience. That′s why FDM′s unique graduate programmes combine training and commercial experience, providing a defined career path for our trainees.

About Our Programmes

The FDM graduate programme combines 10-16 weeks of fast track training with two years of commercial IT experience. After the initial training, FDM trainees move on to become professional IT Consultants, representing FDM on client assignments for a minimum of two years. During the training programme, you will learn the technical and commercial skills required to be successful in the IT industry. 

You will initially be based at one of FDM’s Training Academies in the UK, Germany or the USA, where you will receive award-winning training and guidance from our experienced FDM Trainers. Training is full-time study and very intensive, as you will need to obtain the knowledge, skills and business acumen that will help you achieve your career goals. The training environment is highly supportive and provides an opportunity for trainees to discuss ideas and build lasting relationships with each other.

The expert training you receive is fully funded by FDM and you will start earning a salary when you start your first client placement, however it is essential that you can support yourself during the training period.

Training Streams

There are seven training schemes available on our graduate programme, enabling you to become a .Net Developer, Java Developer, Software Test Analyst, Application Support Analyst, Infrastructure Support Analyst, Data Analyst or Project Analyst. Occasionally we have more specific requirements where we may be looking for bilingual Consultants to work in another country, or for Consultants to be trained in a specific technology for a bespoke opportunity – we will post these opportunities online as they become available.
