Graduate Programmes

Page content

At Ulster, we can connect you with a wide talent bank of highly skilled, sought-after, employable graduates and postgraduates.

We listen, plan and respond to your business need, the current and future needs of local industry and our graduates’ development needs. With these challenges in mind, we continue to plan our Graduate Internship Programmes to support growth in recruitment that will sustain business development for the longer term.

We can work with you to set up activities as another way to recruit Ulster talent, ensuring a streamlined talent pipeline from university to businesses. Most large businesses employing graduates have graduate training programmes in place to ease new recruits into the world of work and give them the skills necessary to become part of the larger team. We can aid the development and promote a graduate development programme that is suited to your business needs.

Graduate Boost Programme

In line with many employers' commitments to enhancing equality, diversity, and inclusion practices, the Graduate Boost Programme offers you a unique opportunity to recruit, onboard, and retain diverse graduate talent

Graduate Boost Programme is set to launch on 13^thJanuary 2025, with support from the Department of the Economy. Building on the success of the previous programme, which enhanced the career paths of participating graduates, this new programme promises to offer even more opportunities.

The programme pairs a 15-week internship with a 15-credit postgraduate module, “Developing a Professional Identity,” specifically designed for 15 unemployed and underemployed graduates living with a range of disabilities. Research shows that graduates with disabilities face significant challenges in securing graduate-level employment, and this initiative aims to bridge that gap.
