Results from an independent survey of leading employers in South Africa shows that these organisations are set to increase the number of graduate vacancies in 2011 by 17 per cent compared to 2010.
The SAGRA Graduate Recruitment Survey 2010 is based on responses from 70 of the largest and most well known graduate employers in South Africa. It provides good news for university students as vacancies for those graduating this summer look set to rise despite difficult economic conditions.
The SAGRA Graduate Recruitment Survey 2010 is produced by The South African Graduate Recruiters Association (SAGRA) and is based on feedback from 70 employers in April 2010.
Nine of the twelve industries that are tracked will see an increase in graduate vacancies for 2011 with one of the largest recruiters of graduates – the accountancy and professional services industry – set for an 18 per cent increase in graduate positions.
The research will also alleviate some graduates’ fears over starting salaries – nearly two-thirds of employers expect a ‘cost of living’ increase to graduate salaries.
