About the programme
“The Codeworks placement scheme has been invaluable to Orange Bus during our expansion phase, allowing us to take on new graduates with far less risk attached thanks to the financial help provided - and we certainly feel our growing pains have been eased significantly.”
Julian Leighton, Orange BusDigital Placement Programme
Codeworks' Digital Placement Programme places North East England's brightest and most talented students and recent graduates into digital companies within the region.
The programme, which was launched in 2004 and runs throughout the year, aims to halt the so-called 'brain drain' of talented technology graduates out of the North East, and to encourage students and graduates to consider digital technology and media companies as a strong first career choice.
Over the past few years, the scheme has placed hundreds of students and graduates into North Eastern companies, proving a huge hit with students, graduates and employers alike.
The scheme has also proven tremendously successful in achieving its goals. To date, around 85-90% of students and graduates taking part in the scheme have secured a position as a direct result of their placement keeping the very brightest and best in North East England.
Companies taking part in the scheme receive 50% funding for the student or graduate's salary.
