Description

Is it your dream to be a journalist at a world-leading news organisation?
The Telegraph is recruiting graduates who have that ambition. We want committed people who have a real passion for writing, revealing the truth, meeting people from all walks of life and telling their stories.
Our unique 22-month scheme will give you quality training by our most experienced journalists. Among the Telegraph stars who first joined us as graduates are Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith, Features Writer Eleanor Steafel, Sunday Political Editor Camilla Turner, US Editor Tony Diver and Chief Sports Writer Oliver Brown. We hope that you will have a long and exciting career with us too.
We are looking for graduates who enjoy writing under pressure and working to deadlines.
You should be a self-starter, flexible and creative.
You will get experience in many different departments, covering everything from news to features, business and sport. You will also receive experience in digital publishing and audience development.
We expect you to embrace these different opportunities and be enthusiastic about learning new skills.
Requirements
