Case study - Graduates for Growth
Graduates for Growth specialises in attracting and retaining
graduate talent for the flourishing Small to Medium Enterprise
(SME) sector.
“The wealth of opportunity here for new
graduates rivals many UK cities. The SME sector in particular is
extremely diverse and offers dynamic career opportunities;
graduates are more likely to take on greater responsibilities and
opportunities for promotion as they grow with the business. We set
graduates up in careers across a broad spectrum including
engineering, finance, business and marketing, IT and design.
Edinburgh has witnessed great growth in all these sectors.
“Looking for your first graduate role can be
daunting. The first process you need to go through is making sure
your CV stands out in this competitive market. We provide CV
surgeries, training workshops and ‘self branding sessions’ to help
you prepare for interviews.
“The second process is making sure that
you’re aware of all the career opportunities open to you. Use your
university’s career services and recruitment consultants like
ourselves. We advertise all our graduate vacancies through career
services and online.
“The average earnings of our recruited
graduates in this area is £17-18,000.”
