Latest news : FDM recruit in Manchester

Leading IT recruiter FDM Group is looking for 100 graduates to join its graduate scheme in Manchester. 08/06/2011 

The fast-track programme will involve a three to four month-long training scheme followed by a two-year contract for successful graduates.

Applicants will be expected to cover their own living costs, but initial training fees will be covered by FDM.

The move comes as FDM look to encourage graduates to consider IT careers outside of London, where the cost of living and property is much higher than the North.

‘We are proud to be offering a further 100 placements within our Manchester branch. The city is a fantastic place to live in and one that is always popular with trainees and FDM employees alike,’ said Sheila Flavell, chief operating officer at FDM.

FDM Group has placed graduate trainees in companies as diverse as HSBC, Barclays, Lloydspharmacy and Unilever in the North West.

Those graduates that go on to work in IT jobs in Manchester can expect an average salary of £45,000, which is £13,000 more than the UK average, excluding London.

FDM Group provides IT training around the globe, with offices in London, Manchester, Frankfurt, New York and Hong Kong.
