Graduate Trainee Visa
About Graduate Trainee Visa
The Graduate Trainee Visa is a Global Business Mobility route for graduates on a structured training programme with a multinational employer, posted into a linked UK group entity as part of their development. It suits early-career hires being groomed for senior roles overseas, with a defined training plan and limited time in the UK. The role and the trainee programme both need to meet Home Office expectations, and sponsorship sits with the UK entity. RakLAW helps employers and trainees package the application so the programme is clearly evidenced.
