Graduate Programme
International Power offers a rotational programme for six month blocks over a two year period with the final six months being an operational elective. Training is conducted through a variety of formats including formal classroom training, on-the-job training, shadowing, seminars, external training, and e-learning. We recognise that learners have different learning styles and wherever possible we structure your learning to suit your style. You will be appointed a mentor for the full two year programme and you will enjoy the benefit of a corporate sponsor. You will have the opportunity to receive feedback and to provide feedback on your own development.
Expectations
Our Expectations
We expect to attract graduates who constantly demonstrate a natural intellectual curiosity and a willingness to engage in the International Power experience. If you are willing to bring your energy and enthusiasm to work with you, you will benefit. We expect you to honour the programme and learn as much as you can. Evidence of your growth and contribution is expected.
What you can expect
International Power respects the graduate process and recognises the unique skills and attributes of each and every individual. You will be known to all your colleagues and you can expect to be included as a key member of the team in which you are rotating in. Responsibility and opportunities to participate in projects are provided to graduates where possible.
It is also recognised that, whilst professional development and training are the cornerstones of employee development, employees are encouraged to add to their learning in a non-working environment.
As such graduates are encouraged to make use of a learning voucher scheme in order to access non-occupational learning. This can be used for any learning or development you chose, however frivolous or eccentric!
On successfully completing the graduation programme, all our graduates are offered opportunities take up permanent positions within International Power. Some people move on, only to return several years later. Our graduate programme sets you up for success and our continuous learning environment ensures that you continue to build your knowledge and skills.

The Graduate Recruitment team
Timing
The timing of the selection process will take at least 6 weeks from the time you are informed that your application has been approved. We will then invite you to participate in a few search steps so that we can get to know you. While we ask that you be patient during the selection process, we do understand that it is frustrating not knowing when the next step might take place.
Our calendar guide is intended to help you understand exactly when each part of the process takes place. As you progress through each step of the process we will contact you directly and keep you informed of what is expected next. The search process is an important part of your ultimate placement. It helps us to ensure that you understand our requirements and we understand your needs and ambitions.
Being clear from the start is the best way of ensuring your expectations are met.
November - December
Applications need to be completed and submitted prior to 26
January.
You will receive an automated response informing you that your
application has been received. Incomplete applications will not be
pursued so please ensure that you are able to submit a completed
application with all relevant details.
December - February
Should your application be successful, you will be informed via
email or post that your application has been accepted. This is the
first step in the process. You will then be invited to complete a
few competency/behavioural related questions. We suggest you
approach the questions thoughtfully as they are an important part
of the selection process.
On successful completion of these assessments, you will be asked to take part in a telephonic interview. We will forward guidelines directly to you so that you know exactly what to expect throughout the interview.
February - March
At the end of February we will inform you of the outcome of the
telephonic interview and if you are successful, we will invite you

We will send you guidelines detailing the assessment process so
that you know exactly what to expect during the day.

will send you a contract confirming your place on our graduate
programme.

You will commence your graduate programme at International
Power.
Assessment Centre
The assessment centre is conducted in London and provides the final few candidates with an opportunity to meet key people in the business. It also gives us an opportunity to understand your personal strengths and capabilities. All local travel expenses will be reimbursed.
The assessment centre provides you with an opportunity to meet previous International Power graduates who are successfully employed in our Corporate Office and to view our facilities at Head Office and the environment in which you might find yourself working.
Interviews
There will be two interviews conducted during the screening process. The first interview will be a telephonic interview. You will be sent guidelines detailing what to expect and what is expected of you. It is not a lengthy interview but it is intended to help us understand a little more about you and establish what your expectations and aspirations are.
