Risk management and sustainability services provider DNV has established a UK graduate programme to develop new talent in the energy and maritime industries.

The company welcomed 14 graduates on the two-year scheme this year and plans to see a similar intake again in 2013.

Christine Maidment, human resources manager at DNV UK, says: “Our new UK graduate scheme aims to continue the lifeblood of our organisation and graduates bring a valuable new take on the industry and projects.

“It also helps for us to raise our profile in UK universities as students may know about major operators but don’t necessarily realise the wealth of opportunities at DNV.”
