Grad Central Inspires Class of 2010 with Job Prospects
A graduate recruitment specialist is restoring confidence in this year's university leavers who have a bleak outlook on the jobs market, with a wide variety of opportunities on offer in the West Midlands.
In response to a survey by High Fliers that discovered nearly half (45%) of final-year students across the country felt that their career prospects were ‘very limited', Grad Central is encouraging graduates to start applying for a number of its job vacancies in creative and design, engineering, marketing, sales, IT and finance industries.
Lucy Cheatham, Marketing Director for Grad Central, explains: “Understandably, this year's graduates are bound to have concerns about the jobs market, with the doom and gloom of the recession still looming over their heads since starting higher education. However, Grad Central has seen a vast array of West Midlands' businesses come forward and show a strong interest in hiring graduates.
“Since launching early last year, we have successfully placed hundreds of graduates into roles with the region's finest employers because they are eager to take on young, fresh graduate talent with degree-level skills and experience, with prospects of them becoming the future managers of their businesses.
“This year alone, Grad Central has doubled placements month on month, which just goes to show that businesses in the region are enthusiastic about investing in graduate talent. Not only are they keen to place individuals in readily available positions, but we are seeing an increasing number of companies developing new roles to bring in those with more diverse skills and specialist degrees that will help to bring an edge to their existing operations, keeping them one step ahead of their competitors.”
Grad Central's dedicated team of recruitment specialists helps both fresh graduate talent and individuals with a number of years of experience to find their ideal job, with a number of prospective employers from the West Midlands on the look out for potential employees. Businesses of all sizes can also make the most of Grad Central's completely fee-free recruitment service and access the region's finest graduate talent.
