The recent survey on fair access to the professions highlighted how internships and work experience has become a key route into many professional careers.
Many of the graduates say that during or after the work placements, the company offered them a contract or encouraged them to apply for a job role - in some cases to apply to their graduate work placement scheme. Sometimes, the work placement and the personal contacts created during this time means that the graduate student could to a certain extent sidestep normal recruitment and selection processes, or at least have a distinctive advantage over any other possible candidates. One example of this is a student being notified about vacancies in advance. In the survey, work placement is demonstrated to be an significant way to be noticed by potential employers.
Not everyone connects their work experience with getting a job at the same employer as some respondents did placements in for instance the same sector but not with their current company. The work placement enabled these graduates to gain sector knowledge and contacts to use in pursuing job opportunities.
