Our 2015 Highlights
Sunday, January 3, 2016
2015 was a momentous year for
Gradsouthwest with the management buy-out of the service in June 2015 ensuring the continuation of this well respected service for graduates and employers. Initially founded in 2001 by SW university careers departments, the service is now run by a small group of experienced graduates and still enjoys the support of universities in the south west peninsula.
Over the summer of 2015 we launched this blog to enable us to share our experience with both graduates looking for jobs and employers wanting to recruit. We hope you find it useful. Our most popular post was “Why graduate training schemes are seen as the gold standard. And why you should re-think.” Click on the link to read it if you missed it first time.
September 2015 saw the redevelopment of the platform meaning that our tried and tested service to match great graduates with great jobs got better:
