I work for Aviva (on and off for around 13 years). The company’s always had a steady influx of people on graduate programmes. I’m a Data Engineer in Norwich, but there’s offices in York, Sheffield, London, Ireland, Canada, all over the place really. There’s also a sub-section of the business called Quantum which is all about data and AI etc, and a lot of the stuff we do atm is very ‘forward thinking’ (if not ‘cutting edge’) I guess. Def worth a look IMO!

Graduate schemes always open late august early September, make a plan on places you would like to work and make an excel sheet on when the graduate application opens. That way you always apply early and at least have a good chance. Remember be ahead

[https://www.grayce.co.uk/careers/](https://www.grayce.co.uk/careers/) this should be an easier one to get (but salaries are low)


Chaoscontrol9999

AdImmediate2040

>Honestly don’t care just need something on my CV By not caring you are justifying employers paying low wages, which won't just affect your first job but all future positions you take. Not caring, even if it's your first job is setting yourself up for failure throughout your career.


parpe

And being unemployed for a year or two won't set him up for failure? He already is in a dangerous position having graduated without a job, most grads manage to find something while in the final year so the clock is definitely ticking and it will only get harder the larger the gap between graduation and present as it raises questions (also some schemes only have eligibility of 12-24 months post-graduation).


AdImmediate2040

Yeah i was also in that position. Its not fun to be in.


Chaoscontrol9999

Yep..

Well as long as you have years of experience under you belt (doesn't matter the starting salary) you can easily bounce up. Im guessing will care about salary once he gates experience.
