Our mission is to deliver both low-carbon energy and a great customer experience. Helping us to do that will provide you with some of the most technically challenging, professionally inspiring, personally rewarding opportunities imaginable.

About the programmes

We generate a fifth of the UK’s electricity and play a central role in our nuclear future, so you might think most of our graduates come from an engineering background. In fact, we also have plenty of routes for those with the skills to manage the commercial, logistical and human aspects of EDF Energy. That equates to seven graduate programmes in all: Nuclear Science and Engineering; Analysts; Business Projects Analysts; Human Factors; Human Resources; Finance; and Marketing. Whichever starting point you choose, prepare for an exciting journey, with a scale and scope of opportunity few organisations can match.

About you

The specific qualifications we look for vary from programme to programme, but you will need at least a 2.1 degree and a demonstrable interest in the work we do. Plus, wherever you join, there’ll be plenty to get your teeth into from day one, so you must be incredibly eager to learn. Expect to find yourself in all kinds of new and exciting areas, working on a variety of projects to see how the organisation fits together and building a valuable network of contacts as you go. If your ambition runs to gaining a relevant professional qualification, all the resources and support you need will be waiting right here too.

About EDF Energy

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the EDF Group, itself one of Europe's largest energy groups, EDF Energy is one of the UK’s largest energy companies and its largest producer of low-carbon electricity. What really sets us apart, however, is our fresh approach to the industry. Everything we do is underpinned by a clear customer focus and a drive towards a sustainable future. Because it’s these two factors, we believe, that will define the future of the entire UK energy industry.

EDF Placements and Internships

www.careerplayer.com — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:12:03 GMT

Placement and Internship Opportunities.
Where can you gain an unparalleled introduction to one of our country’s key industries? Right here at EDF Energy.

About the Placements and Summer Internships.
We offer 12-month Industrial Placements in a variety of different areas across the business. Each gives you the chance to focus on roles and projects that are directly related to your field of study, while developing a broad understanding of our organisation and the industry as a whole. Whichever starting point you choose, whether it’s Nuclear Science and Engineering, Environmental, Human Factors, IT, Marketing or Technical Training, prepare for an exciting journey, with a scale and scope of opportunity few organisations can match.

Opt for Nuclear Science & Engineering, Business Project Analyst, Human Factors, Internal audit, HR, IT, Marketing or Finance, and decide whether EDF Energy, and indeed the sectors we operate in, may be a career option you want to explore further.

About you.
We have high expectations for the students we take on. The specific qualifications we look for vary from placement to placement and internship to internship, but you will need to be working towards a relevant 2.1 degree. That said, you needn’t be an expert in your chosen sector already, but you’ll have a good base understanding from your studies. We’re eager for you to achieve a great deal – and we want to see that eagerness reflected. So you’ll need to show demonstrable interest in the work we do, and want to take ownership of your experience with us – really getting your teeth into it from day one.

Management Training Programme

www.careerplayer.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:30:20 GMT

Come Alive
Will most industry-leading companies really make the most of your talent? Years at university only to become an expert in photocopying. Hanging round the boss’s desk waiting for instructions. And dreaming of a pay rise.

Better join the Enterprise Management Training Scheme to make sure that’s not for you.

What we offer
Enterprise is a huge - and hugely successful - international car rental company. Established in the States in 1957, we’re now North America’s largest car rental company with more than 904,000 vehicles and more than 6,500 employees with over 3,400 in the UK and over 190 in Ireland. And we boast a turnover of $10.1 billion.

Join us, and you’ll learn about everything from sales, marketing and customer service to operations and finance, so you can make crucial business decisions and reap the rewards. And by the end of your traineeship, you’ll have learnt how to manage your own branch and support the entire business.

Here’s how it works
Starting off as a Management Trainee with a competitive income, you’ll be assigned to a branch to learn all about the business. Within as little as eight to twelve months, you’ll move up to a Management Assistant, and then you can be promoted to Assistant Manager. From then on you’ll also receive a percentage of the profits generated by your branch, which means you could earn more thanks to our performance-based culture.

The job you’ll be doing
From day one, your responsibilities will be varied and challenging. So you get up to speed with how the business works as quickly as possible. As well as providing customers with a great customer experience, you’ll be marketing our business, selling our service and liaising with lots of business partners, including insurance companies, dealerships, auto body shops and corporations. Not to mention all the day-to-day stuff, like office management and administration as well as collecting and delivering vehicles and keeping them clean.

EY Summer Internships

www.careerplayer.com — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 19:57:15 GMT

You already have what it takes

Apply to one of our programmes and you’ll see what it’s like to work inside a company like Ernst & Young. We’ll help you understand what your individual strengths are and demonstrate how using them can take you further, faster.

By ‘strengths’ we mean your natural traits. Compassion, creativity, resilience, self-awareness ... they’re not always easy to identify, but you’ll know if you’re using them because you’ll feel happy and motivated.

Playing to your strengths isn’t about opting for the easy life. It’s just the opposite. Because you’re relaxed, in control and not preoccupied with process, you can devote everything to the task in hand – and stretch yourself like never before.

EY Summer Internship

This summer programme will get you fully involved with life and work at Ernst & Young. Internships begin by giving you a chance to develop your fundamental business skills, but the pace soon picks up.

Before long you’ll be doing the same kind of work as our graduates, working with real clients in one of our four main business areas: Advisory, Assurance, Corporate Finance and Tax.

If you’re a really exceptional candidate, you can apply for the chance to go to our week-long International Intern Leadership Conference in Florida. It’s a great chance to meet interns and some of our business leaders from all over the world.

Why do it?

You’ll benefit from an intensive induction programme, career counselling and personal development coaching from an expert mentor. Because you’ll spend several weeks with the company, it’ll help you really understand which aspects of work you enjoy, and how to best use your strengths.

The work you do will be as involved and demanding as our graduates’ work. If you perform well, you’ll get a graduate job offer - so you can enjoy your final year at university with no worries about your next move.

You’ll also get an ongoing programme of first-rate career counselling, an intensive induction period and exceptional training and development throughout.

You already have what it takes

Getting a career shouldn’t dominate your years at university. There’s no need to fret that your choice of course is going to send you down the wrong path, or to worry about the competition for graduate jobs.

The truth is that your natural strengths are what matter. We’ve seen time and time again that when people are able to work in a way that comes naturally, they achieve more and feel happier at work. It’s got nothing to do with what degree subject you chose.

EY Leadership Academy

This elite programme is a three-day residential course to help you develop real leadership skills. It’s run three times a year, for 24 students at a time.

Places are limited, so you’ll need confidence, self-awareness and a drive to excel yourself to be accepted onto the programme. It’s a chance to really push yourself for three intensive, stimulating days.

Why do it?

The training is conducted by recognised experts who have the kind of know-how that can change the course of your career. Indeed, people who pass through the programme are likely to be tomorrow’s high fliers, with a powerful drive to succeed at the highest levels.

So if you’re up for a challenge and want to pick up the skills and self-awareness that will help you hit the ground running when you start work, the Leadership Academy is what you need.

If you’re successful on the programme, we’ll put you straight through to the assessment centre for a Summer Internship too. So the Leadership Academy can be the start of your career with Ernst & Young.

EY Insight Day

www.careerplayer.com — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:06:38 GMT

EY Insight Day

It probably seems like ages until you start a career — and you’re bound to be focused on your studies. But university is about grabbing opportunities — and our EY FastTracks programmes are a great opportunity to learn about the world of business.

EY Insight Day - what is it?

An Insight Day is a one-day experience at an Ernst & Young office, designed to give you a real insight into life and work at Ernst & Young.

You’ll find out what people do day-to-day at a global professional services firm, what joining a company like ours can lead to, and the kind of qualifications you might need to work in different areas of business.

The day will also help you decide whether to consider a placement or internship here.

Why do it?

The business know-how you’ll pick up will help you see the practical applications of what you’re studying. You’ll gain new ideas and skills and build some commercial awareness.
We’ll help you learn about your individual strengths too, of course. And we’ll encourage you to think about how you can use them in your studies.

You’ll pick up new ideas and skills. Your fundamental understanding of business and your commercial awareness will grow through innovative, interactive sessions. You’ll leave the day with more skills and a broader understanding of the commercial world around you.

It’s a valuable experience - and it’ll give you a head start if you decide to join another FastTracks programme or apply for a graduate role here.

You’ve done the Insight Day. What can you do now?

A day spent with us will help you decide which career and study options to explore - and whether you want to stay in touch with us.

Graduate Recruitment Consultants

www.careerplayer.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:58:35 GMT

We like to think of a career in recruitment as a hidden secret, with only the lucky few discovering what it means to be a Recruitment Consultant. The role is a varied sales position, not a typical 9-5 role, where you will be responsible for much more than “finding people the right job”.

To be successful at this role you do not need technical knowledge (you are placing the specialists, you do not have to be one yourself). You do need to be ambitious and have a lot of self-motivation as a large proportion of this role is telesales; selling the recruitment services of our company to our clients.

The role of a Recruitment Consultant is best thought of in two easy stages:

Clients

* Actively canvas clients through cold calling, selling SThree’s recruitment services

* Managing your own time, organising your day to maximise your productivity

* Network through clients and expand contact lists by developing new relationships and, in turn, new business

Candidates

* Writing adverts to attract new talent

* Searching our well established database for appropriate candidates

* Short-listing CVs for the suitability of a particular role (a telephone based interview)

Teach First Graduate Jobs in Maths, Science and ICT

It's time for you to make a difference – to invest your talents in changing lives and achieving something lasting. Your energy, intelligence and creativity can transform the futures of students and drive up standards in challenging schools around the UK. Teach First’s two-year programme provides the training and support to enable you to make a real impact. At the same time, it’s an opportunity to dramatically enhance your own career potential and become part of a movement that is effecting profound change in our society.

Consider the way your life has been changed by the education you have received. Knowledge and the tools to solve problems, insight and appreciation of the world around you and, above all, opportunity. Now imagine if you could help other young people to access all that. Teach First takes exceptional graduates and transforms them into inspiring leaders – your leadership, inspiration and, above all, your example can be the key that unlocks the future for students confronted by a wide range of personal and social issues.

And while you are transforming lives, Teach First will help you to maximise your own potential, discover new skills and build on those you already have. With high-quality training – leading to the achievement of Qualified Teacher Status – leadership development, coaching and ongoing alumni programmes, Teach First will provide you with a strong platform of skills and experience to take forward into any management career. That’s why over 80 companies, government agencies and public bodies back Teach First to develop top talent for the future. Put simply, if you can engage, manage and stimulate a class of under-performing teenagers, you can handle pretty well any situation in business.

How it works
Teach First recruits high-calibre graduates from all disciplines for two years to train and qualify as teachers. Initially you will attend six weeks of intensive education training at one of the UK’s leading teacher-training institutions. Then you will be assigned to a school in London, the North West, East Midlands, West Midlands or Yorkshire, depending on its needs and your subject background.  Parallel to your teaching experience, you will also participate in the Teach First Leadership Development Programme. This will further develop your leadership skills and provide you with valuable contacts, coaching and internship opportunities and business and entrepreneurial training. And, as a Teach First Ambassador, you will continue to benefit from engagement with the Teach First network of supporters and alumni long after you complete the programme.

Teach First is a uniquely demanding option – after just six weeks you’ll be delivering real lessons to real students – but it is also uniquely satisfying. Few other options offer the same degree of genuine responsibility so early. And rarely, if ever, will you have the opportunity to make such a direct and important difference.

Teach First is your chance to join in, and to stand out. When it offers so much, the real question is why wouldn’t you Teach First?
