REUTERS - Business Graduate Programme

Currently Reuters is looking for candidates to apply to their

Business Graduate Programme which will start in April 2008.

This programme is designed to recruit and develop a group of high

calibre graduates who demonstrate leadership potential and can make

an impact in facilitating change in a fast-changing business world. As

part of the programme, you will gain in-depth knowledge of Reuters'

clients, markets, and products. The programme will accustom you to

dealing with clients in a number of different settings and roles, enabling

you to understand how to serve their business and needs. It will also

provide exposure to and understanding of Internet and e-commerce

business. In addition to client-facing roles, further opportunities may

include marketing, strategic planning and project management in an

international and culturally diverse environment. You will be expected to

make a significant contribution at every stage of your career. The

Business Graduate Programme can lead to a wide number of career

paths, including operational front-line positions in account management,

global accounts and marketing or consultancy, strategic planning and

project management roles. Assignments on the programme are likely to

be in at least two different locations and could be global. For the first

two assignments, fluency in the language of the clients being served is

essential.

You will ideally have a Masters degree (or equivalent) in a businessrelated

subject, business administration, economics, computer

sciences/IT or entrepreneurship. You will also be fluent in at least two

languages, of which English is one. Experience or interest in the financial

services sector is a distinct advantage. You should be able to work with

people at all levels, using strong written and spoken communication

skills. You must also enjoy new and varied challenges in a wide range of

environments, possessing the ability and willingness to operate

internationally. You will be ambitious, enthusiastic, eager to succeed and

responsive to feedback.
