TECHNOLOGY firm DeltaXML Ltd has launched new graduate and apprenticeship schemes, working in partnership with the University of Worcester and local colleges.

The aim is to provide work experience and career opportunities to young, bright and enthusiastic people, which will in turn aid the Malvern company's expansion plans. DeltaXML’s chief executive Robin La Fontaine said: "This is an exciting development. DeltaXML is a growing, innovative company with patented, world-beating technology for XML comparison, which is now an essential component of modern document management systems. Fresh and creative ideas are the foundation of our company and by providing places for local graduates and apprentices, we will continue to foster further innovation.”

Established in 1991, DeltaXML specialises in XML, DITA, and Docbook comparison software. It allows the comparison, merging and synchronisation of structured documents as well as many different types of data. Having experienced steady growth since the company was founded, DeltaXML moved its now ten strong team to the Malvern Hills Science Park.

DeltaXML kick-started its new recruitment drive at the University of Worcester Business School’s career brunch and it generated great interest from prospective graduate applicants for both marketing and software development roles.
