Irish Milkround in Full Swing
If you are one of those soon to be graduates with your head so far up your assignments, then you might have failed to notice the companies around campus lately.
From September to November each year Irelands top graduate recruiters visit colleges to advertise their graduate programmes on offer. This event known as the milkround provides students with a great opportunity to meet with company representatives, gather more information on relevant traineeships and therefore make more informed career decisions.
It’s not just the guys here at Gradpool that see the value in attending recruiters’ presentations; your peers think so too. TMP Worldwide produced a report this year in which one of its findings was 88% of the students surveyed planned to visit employers at a campus fair this autumn.
Typical graduate recruiters that participate include PWC, Accenture, Kerry Group, Jameson and Aldi, all leading companies in their own right. Irelands biggest banks used to participate too but due to…. well you know the rest.
Most of the companies like those mentioned above will have fewer vacancies than previous years making landing a grad programme more competitive than ever. So do yourself a favour and take your head out of your assignments for a moment.
