Mace: does its graduate development programme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Development Programme

Unconfirmed. Mace publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate development programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Mace Consult is the programme and project management business that separated from Mace Group and now runs advisory, cost and commercial management, PMO and planning, and programme and project management. Its Graduate Development Programme runs for two years and starts in early September, with some roles advertised for an earlier start. Eligibility is GCSE maths and English at grade 4 or C or above, plus an undergraduate degree of any grade in any discipline, though some technical roles specify subjects in the job advert. The published offer includes financial and wellbeing benefits, structured training and development, professional membership, one to one support, exposure across the firm's services, networking and volunteering. Applications for the 2027 emerging talent programmes open in autumn 2026, and you can register interest in advance.

The catch: The FAQ says you must have the right to live and work in the country you apply to, for all programmes. That is a requirement rather than a sponsorship policy, and Mace does not say whether it sponsors.
