Welcome to Graduates for Business

The Graduates for Business Programme is dedicated to providing a recruitment service to help both recent graduates and small businesses within the North East. The GFB team work with small businesses to find the ideal candidate for their needs, and will support both the company and the graduate throughout the recruitment process.

Graduates can offer a wealth of knowledge and initiative, freeing up vital time for small businesses to focus on development and growth. Small businesses can offer graduates the experience of managing a project and gaining valuable work experience.

Currently, 84% of graduates taking part in the Graduates for Business Programme obtain permanent positions in the company in which they are placed. Graduates for Business is funded by ONE-NE and the European Regional Development Fund.
