After the 20-years success of the Reed Graduate Scheme, we are delighted to announce that we will be launching a Tech-based Graduate Scheme, as we have had a lot of success from graduates that opted to rotate into our IT teams. Examples of our current IT leadership team that started on the scheme include: Jon Campbell (Product Design Manager), Dani King (Engagement Manager), and Gemma Young (Cloud Product Owner) to name just a few!

Benefits of being on the Reed Graduate Scheme

• Annual appraisal to increase to your basic salary
• Flexible career routes and fast-track routes to management
• Industry-leading job training from our dedicated Learning & Development teams

Your First Year

You’ll join our scheme in one of the below teams:

• Product Design – Our Business Analysts are given ownership of discrete parts of the Reed system’s – covering both existing and new requirements. Their roles involve designing, mapping, and designing significant components of complex, business-critical systems.

• Project Management – Our Project Consultants ensure business excellence, change management, and project success. Their roles involve implementing, transitioning, and transforming a service offering to improve business performance.

• Digital Workplace – Our Engagement Consultants ensure business excellence, engagement, and change management. Their roles include supporting and guiding co-members to make the most of technology, adopting best practice and fully engaging with all applications.

• Technical Development – Our Developers work across Java and Reed’s internal database in both front-end and back-end roles.  This role is restricted to those with a technical degree or with coding experience.

Beyond Year One

By now you will have developed invaluable skills that can be transferred into a whole range of career avenues.

 Loving the job? Stay on and work your way up to management through our Career Development Framework which rewards those who deliver on targets. You’ll also be given management training to help you make the transition into senior roles.

 Want to expand your horizons? As a member of the Graduate Scheme you’ll have the option to move to another IT department

 Whilst your qualifications and prior experience will of course influence potential managers, performance in your roles at Reed and your ability to impress internal stakeholders hold more power. For example we have an Engagement Consultant with an English degree and a Business Analyst with a Bachelors in Spanish with Anthropology!
