How to apply

National Graduate Development Programme (NGDP) applications open annually in autumn and close in January, so successful applicants can begin in September.

Graduates can only apply to the NGDP once each year, but there is no limit to how many times a candidate may apply for the programme.

You can apply to the NDGP using the Local Government Association's website. Please make sure you read the information provided on their site.
