Crunch Time For Companies To Find New Blood...<br><br>

It's crunch time for HR departments around the UK to find undergraduates placements in 2003. Over the last few months companies have been snapping up the remaining students in the UK seeking placements for the forthcoming Year. Comments Jessica Higton, Co-Director of Student placement and Graduate Recruitment company, Fledglings.net.

There is still a pool of highly educated and dedicated students available for commercial placements for the 2003 -2004 academic year. Organisations around the country in a multitude of industries can benefit from a student, but the deadline is around the corner where this opportunity could slip through the fingers of those not quick to snap it up.

An undergraduate placement can bring fresh ideas, youthful enthusiasm, additional and cutting edge knowledge and skills allowing them to look on a project or task from an alternative perspective. Many are also highly trained in information technology. Altogether, it provides the business community with a cost effective recruitment solution and a fast track to test potential future graduate employees.
