Why not try the National Graduate Development Programme?

The ngdp is a two-year graduate management development programme, run by the Local Government Association.  The programme has been set up to provide local government with the high-calibre managers their communities need – and to give committed graduates the training and opportunities to make a positive impact to the sector. We can provide you with a launch pad for a successful leadership career in local government. We also recognise you as an individual and will place you right at the centre of your own careeer development.
