Welcome to the Summer Graduate Programme 2026!

The Beckett Careers team is excited to be celebrating the 5th anniversary of our Summer Graduate Programme, a milestone year for a scheme that continues to grow in impact and ambition.

The aim of the programme is for new and recent graduates to develop skills, knowledge and professional work experience, and to provide fresh perspectives and ideas to local businesses and organisations through graduate-level projects.

This year's programme runs from May to the end of June 2026, and is open to graduates from the classes of 2025 and 2026. Get involved to experience a unique blend of development, collaboration, and real-world experience with talented graduates and local employers!

This programme has made me feel so much more confident about going into a professional role now and I am very glad I chose to apply for it.
