Important Application Information
Nestlé receives a high volume of applications for graduate, placement and internship opportunities, so we advise you to conduct some research prior to making an application. Ensure that the opportunity is right for you, and that it and matches the key things we look for.
Although the graduate development programme is 18 months - 3 years in duration (depending on the function), we hope that our graduates will continue to develop in - and add value to – our business for many years beyond the official end of the programme. You will be a key part of our succession plan as you continue on your journey to become leaders of the future. Therefore, although we welcome applicants from international students, you will need to have eligibility to live and work in the UK on a full-time permanent basis. For those who are not eligible, we do have a presence in most countries worldwide so please feel welcome to explore our general careers website – www.nestlecareers.co.uk – where you can search on vacancies worldwide. We regret that we are unable to offer any sponsorship for our graduate vacancies.
Dates within which to submit your application are as follows:
Graduate Programmes:
Monday 14th November 2011
We don’t have a closing date as such this year for our graduate programmes. Instead we have recommended apply by dates. We have a carefully planned calendar of selection activities which culminates in programme-specific selection events. In order to be considered for a selection event when we have all our vacancies available, you are asked to apply by midday on Monday 14th November 2011. The selection events for successful candidates in this first wave of applicants will be held in mid-January to early February 2012.
We will have another apply by date before the end of the year which will be publicised after the first date has passed. Then we’ll have one more in 2012. However, we strongly recommend you apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment with vacancies being filled
Industrial Placements:

This is a closing date rather than a recommended apply by date and we regret we won’t be able to consider applications arriving after this date.
Summer Internships:
Monday 6th February 2012
This is a closing date rather than a recommended apply by date and we regret we won’t be able to consider applications arriving after this date.
