The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) has just released the latest graduate destination figures for the 2007 graduate cohort, collected six months after their graduation. Top line figures from the HESA press release have revealed that outcomes for this cohort are similar to those for the previous years graduates. In the next issue of Graduate Market Trends, we will report these destination figures in detail, which will tie in with the publication of What Do Graduates Do? 2009.
Despite the recent economic situation, employers so far have not predicted any heavy reduction in graduate recruitment in the coming year, according to the latest salary and vacancy survey from the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR). Just over half of the 242 employers polled in May-June predicted their vacancy levels to remain stable, and just under a third expected recruitment to increase. That said, it was reported on 25 July in telegraph.co.uk that one of the Big Four accountancy and professional services firms, Ernst & Young, have put some of this autumns 500 graduate jobs on hold.
What would, therefore, be particularly interesting is the results of the next destination survey for this years graduating cohort.
