Graduates funding themselves for becoming more Employable
Welcome back!
Following recent survey which showed that millions of adults have invested in their own skills development during the recession, a new research gives valuable insight into university graduates’ attitudes to using their own resources to help them secure work.
The research found that if graduates decided to use their own funds to invest in personal development their top priorities would be:
* Another academic qualification (43%)
* A vocational qualification (27%)
* networking skills (22%)
When it comes to investing time rather than cash, in order to improve promotional prospects, graduates would use their time to:
* Do job related studies (37%)
* Network externally for knowledge and contacts (33%)
* Socialise with bosses and colleagues (21%)
* Work longer hours (10%)
Managing director of a recruitment outsourcing firm commented: ‘As the tide seems to be turning employment-wise in some sectors, graduates are taking a lead in focussing on making themselves more employable by being willing to add to their collection of qualifications. They can also see how to adjust this focus once in the workplace by using business and social networks. There’s lots of pragmatism with vocational qualifications and networking being given such high priority. Industry and commerce still need strong graduate intakes and this insight shows that there’s a clear understanding among graduates of how to standout in this competitive marketplace.’
Passing on the benefit of their own experience, more than one in two graduates would implore undergraduates to study harder. One in five would reassure them that if they focus on enjoying university the results will follow, one in six would tell them to make friendships to last a lifetime but just one in ten would caution ‘be careful with money’.
The research is part of an annual research project by elemense, one of the leading rpo companies in UK. Article Source:http://www.articlesbase.com/outsourcing-articles/graduates-funding-themselves-for-becoming-more-employable-1781304.html
