New GradTalent partnership

We are proud to announce we are now working with Bath Spa University, the University of Bath, Bath College and the Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership through challenge competition funding from the Office for Students.

Together, under the brand GradTalent Development Agency we will help graduate retention by providing businesses with a special service to help recruit, retain and develop local talent.

Running for 2.5-years, it will be working with mainly small and medium sized companies, some of whom might never have considered employing a graduate. The Agency will explain how taking on a graduate could help develop their business, then working on the recruitment and development of the person once they are in the job.
