Jump into the Graduate Talent Pool

Graduate Talent Pool is a new scheme to support graduates to improve their employability skills and support business at the same time.

The Government is taking steps to help graduates in the downturn and prepare for the upturn. The new scheme will help increase the number and range of opportunities for graduates to improve their employability. If you graduated in 2008 or 2009 with at least a degree or foundation degree, you are eligible for the scheme.

The service is backed by employers up and down the country, in the public, private and third sectors. Over time, it's expected that there will be thousands of internship places posted on the site.

Opportunities will include:

• Internships
• Postgraduate study
• Setting up their own enterprises
• Volunteering
• Teaching through the Teach First
programme
• Short Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
(KTP) projects

If you’re curious about what it might be like to work in a particular career, there may be opportunities to find out during your time at university or college. Student societies, newspapers, radio stations, sports teams and taster courses can also help build the kind of skills and experience employers look for.

The internships offered on Graduate Talent Pool are based primarily in England. For work placements in Wales visit the Go Wales website: www.gowales.co.uk/
