Informa: does its graduate fellowship scheme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyInforma Graduate Fellowship Scheme (two year rotational, UK)

Unconfirmed. Informa publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate fellowship scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Informa is the FTSE 100 events and academic publishing group behind Taylor and Francis, Informa Markets, Informa Connect, Informa Festivals and Informa TechTarget. Its UK Graduate Fellowship Scheme is a dedicated two year programme with three six month placements in the UK, each in a different business and role, and the chance to spend a fourth six month placement in a hub outside the UK, with Dubai, New York, Toronto, Amsterdam, Singapore and Hong Kong named. Fellows get a mentor from Informa's management team, a buddy from within the scheme, and full eligibility for UK benefits including 25 days of holiday rising to 27, a day off for a birthday, paid volunteering time and a discounted share scheme. Past fellows have worked as digital marketing associates, treasury analysts, content specialists and sustainability managers. The entry bar is a minimum 2:1 or equivalent, open to all subjects, with previous business experience valuable but not required. Nothing published addresses visas.

Informa, from its own careers pages

The catch: The scheme sends fellows abroad for six months, which is a live visa question for a non UK national on a UK work visa, and the page does not address it. The process runs application, then a 30 minute online assessment with a video, a written answer and a critical thinking test, then a February virtual interview with a presentation, then an in person assessment centre at 240 Blackfriars Road in London. Cohorts are small.
