2026 Grad Scheme Readiness Scorecard

🚀 Welcome to this Graduate Application Readiness Scorecard!

This scorecard is designed to help you evaluate how ready you are for applying to 2026 graduate schemes and jobs in the UK.

👉 Based on your responses, you'll receive tailored advice highlighting your strengths and areas of improvement — so you know exactly what to work on before you apply.

👉 My goal is to help you improve your chances of landing that one "yes" that matters.

We’ll assess your readiness across 4 key areas:

1️⃣ Market Awareness – understanding sectors, companies, and deadlines

2️⃣ Application Preparation – crafting strong CVs and cover letters

3️⃣ Assessments & Interview Readiness – tests, video interviews, and assessment centres

4️⃣ Application Strategy – staying organised and targeting the right roles

⚡Remember: this is a self-assessment. The more honest you are, the more valuable your feedback will be. Think of it as a practice run to polish your application readiness before hitting submit on your dream graduate role.
