The national graduate development programme for local government (ngdp) is recruiting over 120 talented National Management Trainees for its Autumn 2019 intake. Working with one of over 50 councils across England  successful applicants will have two years to influence some of society’s big issues, from social care and housing to education and the environment, while training to be one of local government’s next generation of managers.

This is a varied and prestigious programme which has a high record of success placing graduates in positions of management in local government upon completion of the scheme.
