There's an article in guardian.co.uk which discusses how FDM Group, an IT services provider in the U.K., plans to double its graduate recruitment in 2011 and add 1,000 new jobs to help tackle IT graduate unemployment.

Here's how it works: successful applicants receive 12 weeks of training, then spend two years working for one of FDM's clients worldwide, including companies such as Bank of America, UBS, HSBC and BSkyB. With a 16 percent unemployment rate among IT graduates in the U.K., it's hardly surprising that FDM received over 20,000 applications for 500 openings to its Academy Programme in 2010.
