Time is running out for your organisation to be part of Real Prospects 2009 the first national survey of new and recent graduates real experiences of recruitment, training and career development.

The deadline for participation is 19 December 2008

An overwhelming number of employers have committed to this pioneering study, which will deliver significant insight into how graduate recruitment and development programmes are rated. For the first time employers will be able to see how their graduate programmes really perform within their industry sector and across the UK as a whole.

Developed in partnership with the Association of Graduate Recruiters and the Guardian, Real Prospects 2009 is completely independent, open to all recruiters and employers of graduates in the UK and standard participation is free.

Conducted by The Higher Education Career Services Unit, on behalf of Graduate Prospects, Real Prospects 2009 will identify what recruiting organisations actually deliver to graduates in their first few years of work, inform the development of benchmarked industry standards and celebrate the best practice in the employment and development of graduates nationwide.

All data will be anonymised and employers requiring a detailed look at their organisation's results will be able to choose from additional partner and associate packages. These provide individual, detailed reports about their performance as an organisation, benchmarked against their industry sector and all employers.
