We offer graduates the opportunity to join what is probably the best graduate development scheme for engineers and scientists in the UK: The Ministry of Defence, Defence Engineering and Science Graduate Scheme.
Key facts to note are:
a/ Considerable Investment in you. b/ An accelerated path to Chartership in your engineering or science profession - with DESG it’s possible for you to gain chartered status in just 4 years and we provide a Mentor to guide you through. c/ Special development opportunities that are not available in private industry – see the case studies on our website for a flavour of just some of these. d/ MoD Projects are fascinating, valuable and unique.
The Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG) is the team of thousands of engineers and scientists working within the Ministry of Defence and cutting edge engineering and science is a critical component in our work. Our prestigious graduate scheme is accredited by: IET, IMechE, RINA, IoP, RAeS, IMarEST and ICE and has been an industry leader for almost thirty years, launching hundreds of graduates into satisfying careers in engineering and science.
It is because of our requirement to safeguard the UK and its interests that the range and depth of the development opportunities that we offer are exceptional - making us a market leader. Moreover, we believe that the quality of our training programme, our accelerated path to chartership, personal mentoring and huge investment in each graduate sets us apart from competitors in the engineering and science field.
The DESG graduate scheme is a carefully structured but flexible training program; enabling each graduate to get the most from a series of work placements (this includes placements with private industry). Through this unique scheme each graduate is able to further their professional development - making it possible for them to gain tremendous engineering or science experience and to achieve chartered status within just four years.
