Developing you

Learn how TfL supports you during the graduate scheme. With a strong heritage, a world-recognised brand and an ambitious future - we believe we’re a great place for you.

But it’s not all about us, we want you to realise your own impact and create your own legacy.

To help you do this, we invest in your development, because your growth is our growth. Our aim is for you to develop the skills and experience you need to thrive in the workplace.

We understand that everybody’s career is a different story and we focus on your strengths.

Some of these you may have developed through your studies at university, others may come from life experience and some you may already have instinctively. Whatever your background, there’s an opportunity here for you.

What support will I get?

Our award-winning teams will support your ongoing development, through a wide range of on-the-job practical experience and placements, online training, mentoring and structured networking.

Whether you’re looking for leadership skills, or to work on a specific project, there’s an opportunity here for you.

• Placement manager: Responsible for your day-to-day management and support with your development

• Buddy: Usually an apprentice or graduate who gives support to you and ensure that you feel welcomed in the organisation
