The UK’s number one graduate recruitment site*, Milkround, announce their launch into the school and college leavers market.
From today, Milkround will be offering job opportunities and careers advice for school and college leavers. Milkround Early Careers provides a new platform for recruiters looking to target the school and college leaver demographic with entry level jobs, apprenticeships, higher apprenticeships and school leaver programmes.
The graduate recruitment experts are excited to extend their commitment in developing career confidence to the 16-18 year old market who may be considering alternatives to university. General Manager, Jenni Joplin has commented: “Our aim is to ensure all school and college leavers are aware of the options available to them and they have the guidance needed to make educated career decisions suited to them.”
Milkround will host opportunities available to school leavers, partnering with some of the leading employers of young people across the country to provide these opportunities. As well as vacancies, Milkround have enhanced their website to include an Early Careers advice hub providing relevant information to help young people make those all important decisions about their future career.
School and college leavers can now access advice about everything from A Levels and higher education, to apprenticeships and straight-to-work schemes. There is a particular focus on areas that have been identified as problematic by employers, such as interview skills, employability and understanding the corporate workplace. There is also an area dedicated to helping parents understand the options available to their children once they leave school.
Sales Manager, Sarah-Jane McQueen commented “For our clients, Milkround Early Careers offers a variety of advertising opportunities, allowing recruiters to promote both their brand and their early career opportunities to this demographic. Our dedicated acquisition marketing team have been, and continue to work hard in building an engaged database of school and college leavers through our presence at relevant fairs and exhibitions nationwide”.
Alongside speaking directly to students, Milkround will be working closely with schools and colleges across the country, providing the necessary support to teachers, to ensure both students and teachers alike, have access to the resources they need to enable effective career decisions to be made. Milkround will also be harnessing the resources of parent company News UK, publisher of The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun to provide information, advice and guidance to parents who are unsure of what route is most suitable for their child.
Milkround are making the move into this market with their 10 launch partners, from a variety of sectors: ACCA, Bakkavor, BDO, CGI, Clarksons, EY, IBM, KPMG, M&G and PWC.
