IT graduate jobs

Graduate jobs are roles for university leavers and can be found in every sector and at a huge range of employers. You’ll typically join an employer in a specific role and progress within that team. Most graduate jobs are offered as permanent contracts, but some are offered on a fixed-term contract. After your initial induction, training is likely to be delivered on the job and focused on the requirements for the role.

Many graduate employers start advertising their vacancies for IT graduates in the autumn. Some have deadlines before the end of the year, while others tend to close in January. Don’t be caught out by the later deadlines, though. Some employers will close applications early if they receive enough quality applications before the original deadline.

You don’t need to have a degree in computer science or an IT-related subject to get a graduate job in IT or technology. Plenty of employers will take you on whatever your degree subject; some will have a preference for those who studied a STEM subject; others will advertise for graduates who have studied a subject that centres on IT.
