The GEM Programme is proud to be inclusive and accessible to all. It has recruited and developed talent from diverse ethnic groups, across age ranges, and genders. Accessibility remains a guiding principle in recruiting the next GEM cohort.
A diverse and inclusive approach to both recruitment and development will enable housing organisations of all sizes and specialisms to engage in creating unique career building opportunities for upcoming professionals across a full range of roles.
The GEM Programme recognises that non-graduate talent can bring the same potential, passion and initiative as graduates. The recruitment process is therefore also open to graduate equivalent talent.
The GEM Programme recruits talent externally – those who do not come from a housing background – as well as being open to talented colleagues already working in housing organisations and at a formative stage of their careers.
The programme has a diverse demographic and aims to continue this by encouraging applications from underrepresented groups.
