What an interesting
environment it is!

Welcome to the Second Edition of “Fuse”, the latest graduate industry news and articles.

Well, we have been out and about bumping into many of you at the Breakfast Seminars in February and also those of you passionately getting sore feet and throats and the various Careers Fairs around the country.

It is not surprising that the 3 common themes that we keep speaking about involve;

  • The current economic environment and the impact on the graduate market
  • Graduate sentiment and how we are going to navigate through the year adding value
  • Best practice Graduate Development programs

This edition of Fuse will continue to gather valuable insights from a wide spectrum of industry leaders, innovators and partners who will openly share their thoughts and philosophies to enhance your programs and position you as Graduate Employer of Choice.
