I had the pleasure of attending this year's 'What do Graduates want' survey results event, superbly organised and hosted by the fantastic team at #BrightNetwork. All the insights into GenZ's mindsets plus the great student panel discussions were relevant and pivotal in continuing to shape our future talent attraction, recruitment and development solutions. Here are my key takeaways ⬇️   ❤️GenZ want to experience our work culture, not just read about it. 📌 71% have a location preference for their first graduate role. 46% want to work in London. 🌍Black heritage students are using GenAI more than white students. GenAI can be a great tool for neurodiverse students, helping level the playing field when it comes to application processes. ⁉️Companies can be sometimes viewed as 'all about D&I' only to then make the recruitment process fairly inaccessible. It’s also not always immediately obvious what exactly is meant by 'resilience' and 'passion for business.' 🪜Only 15% of those on graduate programmes said they'd definitely stay. Employers should make it clear what progression will look like.  🏢The majority of young people want to work 3 to 5 days from the office/site to learn from others, build professional networks and socialise. They are not expecting to make the rules, however, they strongly prefer jobs that offer some form of flexibility.  #ResearchBreakfast2024 #BrightNetworkResearch #emergingtalent

In partnership with HPC our report uncovered the top challenges facing Early Careers Programmes. Retaining talent has emerged as the main obstacle, with a lack of ongoing performance and development feedback and mismatched expectations hindering efforts to develop an organisation's future leaders. Reviewing hybrid working arrangements and setting out a clear career pathway are just two of the ways highlighted by the report to improve the retention of graduates, interns and apprentices.

We've already told you all about our new graduate programme, and there's a lot of change. So, what have we changed? The biggest change to our graduate programme is the removal of our streams. These streams saw successful candidates fitting into different roles throughout our business, but we have opportunities that fall outside of these. By removing the streams, we're able to open our programme to a wider group of individuals and offer roles that fall outside of our streams and meet business needs. You can learn more about what our new graduate programme involves at https://lnkd.in/eqG2K2-y #graduateprogramme #YourFutureAccelerated
