More than 800,000 people graduate from university in the UK each year*, meaning there are thousands of young adults eager and itching to kickstart their careers. 

While hiring a graduate can require time and training, there are also many benefits which can help to boost your business.  

A fresh point of view 

When you’ve been working on something for a while, it’s always a good idea to get a fresh pair of eyes on your work to avoid missing out on any new ideas or errors. By approaching things from a fresh perspective, you may uncover something you previously overlooked. 

Similarly, hiring a recent graduate can provide an even broader scope of new ideas and knowledge. With their fresh viewpoint and newly gained education, they are the ideal candidates to bring in new insights and inject innovation into your team.

Long-term financial investment 

Graduates leave university with a strong desire to learn as much as possible, in order to climb the career ladder. As a result, they can very easily absorb your company’s ways of working and adopt the culture and values.  

Due to their enthusiasm and eagerness for learning valuable skills, integrating a fresh graduate into your company couldn’t be simpler. They acquire a strong work ethic and can become devoted team members, with the right training.

Great knowledge on technology and trends

Recent graduates are equipped with a diverse range of skills in modern technologies and trends, particularly those who have studied business, media and communications. 

They are well-versed in platforms such as Instagram, Tiktok and Twitter. These apps require several techniques to deliver high-quality information and notably video footage. By growing up in a media-immersed generation, they are fluent in social media and know what’s on trend and how to capture captivating content.

Their skillset not only helps with the development of new marketing methods, but it also encourages creativity, allowing them to stay up to date with the ever-changing social media landscape.
