“‘I felt the EDF Finance Graduate Scheme was a great fit for me due to being able to complete three different placements within the business, allowing me to gain a wide range of experience and expand my network early on. Being supported through my CIMA studies was another attraction, as this will help provide a wide array of opportunities for me in my career.” **Rory, Nuclear Operations Finance Graduate**
