In a constantly evolving and challenging sector, we take the development of high-quality future leaders very seriously. That's why Ambitious Futures will invest in your career development, expose you to a range of interesting business areas and work cultures - and ultimately enable you to become one of the industry's most influential senior figures.

A rotational programme

The opportunity to experience different universities and work areas will be invaluable to your development. It opens up new avenues of potential career paths and demonstrates that a career in this industry is not only interesting and varied but can be almost anything you want it to be.

You'll be employed by a host university (this may be the university from which you've graduated*) and will take part in an 18-month programme split into three placements. The first and last of these will be based at your host university, while the middle placement will take you to a different partner institution.

*Some universities will consider graduate trainees from any university.

The type of work you'll be involved in will be project-based and wide-ranging, offering many diverse and challenging opportunities. We aim for you to complete a variety of different projects in a fairly short space of time, and in many cases, you will be able to see the results of your work being implemented across the university.

Build your network

Our current trainees will tell you how much they've enjoyed and valued the opportunity to network with fellow graduates. Throughout the programme, you'll be brought together in clusters for group coaching sessions, and as a whole group for your eLAMP end of module workshops. It's an informal opportunity to share your experiences and learn about the career ambitions of your peers, as you move forward together into an exciting new future.
