The Graduate Developer Community is a diverse community of students and recent graduates with an interest in Software, run through an active The Graduate Developer Community Meetup Group. It was founded in 2009 by Barry Cranford of RecWorks Ltd and is organised and run with the support and collaboration of members of over 50 companies in London.

In 2012 the Meet a Mentor initiative was launched which aims to offer students the advice of mentors from a wide range of disciplines. With over 100 mentors involved, this is a forum for FAQ from our members. If you have any questions you would like to post, please email Barry Cranford at bc@recworks.co.uk
