Best grad schemes

Highlights and case studies that are affecting graduate schemes within the UK…

Entering into the working world can be a daunting task for any recent graduate. Often proving to be a baptism of fire. Taking on new roles, experiencing new rules and guidelines and getting used to working with colleagues can be overwhelming, which is where the option of a graduate scheme can offer guidance, giving much-needed support and structure in the world of work.

Not only are graduate schemes beneficial to recent university leavers, but they will also help businesses to recruit new, motivated talent who want to stick with a company. For example, The Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) Development Survey 2017 showed that only 20% of graduates leave in the first year after their grad scheme. Even up to five years after finishing a grad scheme, more than 50% of the employees are still with their employer.
