Accountants Maintain Graduate Recruitment Crown
Accountants are still the most gernerous when it comes to opening their doors to graduates…
As the banking and financial services sectors shrink, accountancy maintains its prowess as the go-to profession for graduates.
Personnel Today: Accountancy continues to provide the biggest share of graduate jobs, as in previous years, with 18.2% of the total graduate vacancies in 2009.
However, banking and financial services have slipped down the table and last year provided just 7.9% of vacancies – an obvious knock-on effect of the banking crisis, the AGR said.
Overall, graduates haven’t suffered anything like as much as expected – vacancies in 2009 actually fell by 8.9%, far less than the 24.9% predicted during last summer’s survey.
