What is the Graduate Development Programme (GDP)?

The Graduate Development Programme (GDP) is a structured training programme our class of graduates on the GDP complete over the course of 2 years in addition to their main role. We work in collaboration with an external supplier, HR and functional experts to deliver a range of training from improving business skills e.g. managing projects, business strategy, company presentation skills etc to team building activities, attending events and developing professional networking skills.

What our graduates say:

Being on the GLDP was a fantastic opportunity to learn about your own style and personality traits and how you can better adapt your approach to situations and people in the work place. It also provided a great network across the functions and the sites that I have been able to reach out to for support during my time at Raytheon.

My job role has predominantly been in platform integration for Paveway IV, and during my time I have worked on the Tornado, Typhoon and more recently Protector Aircraft. I have also had many opportunities to work in our R&D projects and have helped qualify the Tactical Penetrator warhead, Anti-jam Module and Modular harness. My job has led me all over the world to support trials including Italy and over 8 states in the US. I love the variety my job offers the engineering work we do varies all the way through the system life cycle. In more recent years I have become the lead engineer for the Protector programme and have been able to develop my knowledge in the more programmatic areas of work. The most recent opportunity I have taken is to lead the engineering team in our high energy laser programme as we develop a novel technology for user experimentation in the UK.
