Kent scheme helping graduates onto the career ladder

GradsKent is a scheme to develop employment opportunities in Kent that are suitable for students and graduates.

Every year over 11,000 students graduate from universities in Kent but just 30% secure a job in the county, meaning a huge loss of talent for local businesses. The team at http://www.GradsKent.com is now helping people to actively find the jobs that are out there.

GradsKent is operated by Kent County Council with the support of Kent universities and employers. The website has been designed as a one-stop shop for employment opportunities in Kent that are suitable for students and graduates, creating an online graduate portal that the county has never experienced before. By advertising their vacancies on the site, local organisations gain immediate access to a portfolio of high calibre and exuberant talent.

Recent research shows that employers can expect a return of between 500% and 800% when they hire new graduates as they bring specialist skills to a job. Graduates come into the workplace with energy and drive, ready to learn and contribute fresh thinking to your organisation.

Employers can easily and simply manage their account online and as soon as job details and requirements go live the graduates can start applying for your vacancy within minutes. Employers can view candidates that have applied to the job vacancy and close the advert once the interview short-list has been compiled. GradsKent makes the recruitment process quick and easy.

Companies can register for free with no obligations; advertising rates are competitve.
