Spurring students on this spring to find perfect job!
With over 36,000 students set to graduate from universities across the West
Midlands region this summer, a specialist graduate recruitment service is
encouraging this year’s graduates to get organised this Easter holiday and start
hunting for graduate jobs!
Grad Central, which is funded by Advantage
West Midlands (AWM), is advising students to spring clean their CVs and start
applying for potential jobs throughout the holidays, giving them a better chance
of securing a job once they have graduated.
Lucy Cheatham, Project
Director at Grad Central, explained: “For many students it’s hard to see past
final year exams and dissertation deadlines, which is why they may struggle to
find a job in the summer once all their work is completed.
“With
thousands of students graduating this summer and the job market becoming more
and more competitive, my advice for any student in their final year is to start
looking now!”
Helping students to make the job-hunting process easier,
Grad Central’s specialist recruitment service has been launched in the West
Midlands, matchmaking graduates and businesses in Staffordshire, Herefordshire
& Worcestershire, Coventry & Warwickshire, Shropshire, Birmingham and
the Black Country. AWM has already set out to place thousands of graduates
within the regions’ private companies over the next four years. Grad Central has
been set up to offer the region the best recruitment service combining all of
the latest web-based recruitment technology with professional and experienced
graduate recruitment consultants on hand to guide graduates successfully through
their job hunting.
Lucy added: “We hope these target figures will give
graduates a reason to start applying for jobs, and with our service available
online at www.grad-central.co.uk, it is easy and quick for students to register
their details. The level of interest we’re getting from local businesses eager
to recruit new graduate level talent into their businesses should give final
year students the confidence that soon enough, they’ll have the job offers
flooding in faster than they can throw their graduation caps up in the air!”
