Welcome to the First Edition of FUSE for 2010 and welcome to our 1000th subscriber.

After the doom and gloom of 2009, it is great to see the Graduate Industry back on it’s feet and talking up expectations for an exciting 2010. There are no doubts that the market is back! We were the first way back in February 2009 to predict a 20% decline in graduate intake numbers across the industry, so we will be the first in 2010 to predict a 10-15% increase in 2010/11 intake numbers.

Our industry operates in a cyclical pattern and once again we are on verge of sheer mayhem with the March/April Careers Fair Circus and the May/June/July selection and offer phase.

The critical issues facing all of us in 2010 revolve around engaging key stakeholders, showcasing our Graduate Value propositions and the business case for graduates.

How will your organisation position itself heading into a 2011 graduate intake? How will you add value to your Graduate proposition and how will you convince your key stakeholders on the return on investment your organisation can get from their Graduate program?

In 2010, Fuse will continue to provide you with insights and advice on how you and your organisation can better position your graduate proposition and maximize the popularity of feeding new and innovative new talent into your organisations.

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.
