IT Graduate Programme – 2012 - Oxford

Sopra Group is seeking to recruit a number of IT Graduates, to join our English Division.

Location – Oxford, but must be willing to travel to Sopra offices and client sites throughout the UK. 

Salary – Attractive, plus flexible benefits

Who Are We Looking For?
Our ideal candidates should have a blend of excellent technical skills balanced with the ability to work well in a team and in direct contact with our customers. The technical content of your degree course is important to us but equally important will be your proven experience in collaboration and the inter-personal skills that you have developed both in university and in your wider life outside.

What Sopra Group can offer you
• A full induction to our business and the IT services sector
• A comprehensive training programme enabling development of your technical talent and wider business skills 
• Mentoring and support from a Sopra Group employee who is a specialist in your area of technical development 
• Involvement in employee communities 
• An attractive starting salary 
• A full range of other employee benefits 
• Opportunity to fast track your career dependent on individual performance
• Ongoing opportunities to gain wide experience and develop your career in a successful and growing organisation

Location of Roles
For the first 12 months of Graduate Programme you will be based in our Oxford Service Centre. During the final 6 months of the Programme, and in your ongoing role in Sopra Group following the Graduate Programme, you will widen your skills and experience by working on other projects which may be based from another Sopra Group office or at a client site. Therefore, you need to be flexible and able to travel within the UK. In some cases, there may also be opportunities to work with clients and colleagues in other countries in Europe and further afield.
