Cambridge Network Graduate Scheme

Supporting the next generation of leaders

The Cambridge Network Graduate Scheme offers a cost-effective way to develop high-potential graduates already working in your organisation.

You can select up to 12 recent graduates from within your existing workforce to participate in this development programme. These individuals will form a dedicated cohort, progressing through a structured learning journey together.

Over 12 months, participants gain real-world leadership and management skills, an ILM Level 5 qualification, and the confidence to make a measurable impact.

Timeline

The scheme can begin at any point in the year, depending on when is most convenient for your organisation, and runs for 12 months from the start date.
