Graduate Prospects has consolidated its partnership with the NUS with the launch of Graduate Extra, a new discount card for recent graduates.
Graduate Extra will be promoted through Graduate Prospects’ channels including prospects.ac.uk, targeted e-marketing activity and a national programme of graduate fairs.
Sarah Kite, marketing communications manager at Graduate Prospects explains: “We already have a well established relationship with the NUS, particularly on the undergraduate side, so this is a fantastic opportunity for us to cement our collaboration with them on graduate activity. As part of our affiliation we will help promote the new discount card and look forward to helping it grow to have similar kudos its student counterpart.”
Graduate Prospects has worked with the NUS since 2003, providing careers content for nus.org.uk and ongoing support.
Aaron Porter, NUS President says: NUS has a long tradition of securing great deals for students and now with the introduction of Graduate Extra we're able to offer the same deals to graduates as well. The period after graduation is one of big adjustment, Graduate Extra will help to ease the change by getting you discounts on some essentials and some treats as well, whilst still helping to support the work of NUS.
Graduate Extra provides relevant advice and offers to assist graduates with the start of their professional life. It is the first time graduates have been given the opportunity to retain some of the deals that were available to them as students.
