Graduate Recruitment

It is a shame to see BT pulling its graduate training programme, I hope this is not a sign of things to come in larger organisations. Though it takes only 130 graduates on a year I think this sends out a message to the recent graduates and people about to go to university that they will struggle to find work on completion of their degree. The recession affects everyone but apparently the under 25's suffer more than any other demographic... http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/aug/24/bt-axes-graduate-recruitment

It must be a daunting prospect leaving uni at the moment, what you have to hope is that this doesn't damage the talent train further on in the future because of a lack of graduate placements and people's desires to go to university. In reality there could be a lost generation. http://www.economicsuk.com/blog/000964.html
