What will I be doing?
As a graduate, this one-year development programme will consist of initial training followed by a minimum of two placement rotations. Our aim is to equip you with the range of skills and experience you need for your successful career. We also understand that everyone’s career is different, so every graduate’s journey is unique. Here’s an idea of what yours could look like;
Power Platforms Software Development
Initial training – 1 month
You meet fellow graduates and apprentices who are starting their software development scheme at the same time as you. Over the first few weeks you are introduced to the fundamentals of power apps, workflows, writing object-orientated C#, learn how to test your code and use cloud services. This informal training is led by current developers from our teams and Microsoft trainers and equips you with the knowledge and confidence to start your first placement.
Placement 1 – Power app development – 5 Months
Working in a team, under the guidance of an experienced developer, you develop bespoke power apps applications this includes refine/estimate user stories, test functionality, release application. Being part of agile team will give exposure to Agile ways of working while mastering your skills on Power Platform, Dataverse, Azure components (azure functions with C# .Net, service buses/queues), CI/CD.
Placement 2 – Customer relationship management (CRM) – 6 Months
Working in a team, under the guidance of an experienced developer you will be working on MS Dynamics 365 CRM. Customer relationship management (CRM) is a set of integrated, data-driven software solutions that help manage, track, and store information related to your company’s current and potential customers. By keeping this information in a centralised system, business teams have access to the insights they need, the moment they need them. You will also be involved in environment setup, configurations, Customisations, integrations, and deployments of the CRM solutions. You will use azure DevOps as source control and deployment pipelines.
During the scheme, we encourage you to become a TfL STEM Ambassador and help with our schools’ outreach programme which delivers engaging and interactive workshops to primary and secondary schools on topics such as coding & big data.

Inclusive recruitment process
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and aim to reflect the diverse communities we serve. We believe that a diverse workforce enables us to deliver better services and outcomes. Our goal is to make our recruitment as inclusive as possible. As a Disability Confident Leader, we actively encourage applications from disabled people. As part of the Disability Confident scheme, we aim to offer an assessment or interview to candidates who apply via the scheme where the minimum essential criteria for skills, knowledge and experience has been met. In some circumstances, it may not be practical to offer an interview or assessment to every candidate who applies through the scheme and meet the minimum essential criteria; in these situations, we select candidates who best meet the minimum criteria for the job rather than interviewing all who meet them.
Across all recruitment activity, we recognise that selection methods may vary depending on the nature and scale of the campaign and will be applied fairly, consistently and proportionately in line with our Disability Confident commitments.
In High Volume campaigns including Graduate, Apprentice and Intern recruitment the minimum criteria we set is achieving a pass mark in our first stage assessments, adopting a proportionate approach to the Disability Confident Offer an Interview scheme.
Please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments for any stages of the application process.
