A new partnership between totaljobs.com and Postgrad Solutions Ltd will increase the information available to future postgraduate students and opportunities for them to engage with potential employers. The collaboration seeks to supply students with advice on courses, universities and subsequent job opportunities to put them in a strong position to secure the role they want after they have finished their studies.
Interest in postgraduate degrees is high at present with increased awareness of the need to acquire specific skills to stand out in a crowded jobs market. This follows the phenomenal rise in the number of postgraduate students in the UK, which quadrupled in the early 1990s and doubled over the course of the next ten years.
Totaljobs.com and Postgrad Solutions have teamed up to create a full service offer for students hoping to secure work after completing their studies. In September 2013, new content zones and marketing strategies on each site will help postgraduates get a unique competitive edge. Totaljobs.com will launch a postgraduate zone with content delivered by Postgrad.com whilst Postgrad.com will host a new careers zone powered by totaljobs.com.
For jobseekers registered with totaljobs.com who are preparing for the future, this partnership presents the possibility of studying a postgraduate qualification in order to take their next step on the career ladder. The relationship with Postgrad Solutions ensures that jobseekers can plot a clear path to their preferred destination.
Graduate Director at totaljobs.com, Mike Fetters, said: “We are always looking to provide jobseekers and those planning their future with the best possible experience and advice to help them make informed decisions on their next career move.
“Our culture and ambitions are very well aligned so partnering with Postgrad Solutions is a really natural fit for us and it will provide a wealth of resources and opportunities for both students and organisations hoping to recruit them. The information available on both websites is designed to help students understand what options are open to them - whether they decide on further study or entering the world of work - as well as what recruiters are looking for, meaning our clients get candidates who are engaged and ready to work for them.”
Katherine Mann, Co -Founder of Postgrad Solutions Ltd, commented: “We are both forward-thinking, industry leaders and working together enables us to provide a comprehensive offer for those who want to continue in higher education, alongside the organisations and businesses looking to connect with them. We want to empower all future postgraduate students with the knowledge to choose the right course whilst taking into consideration possible job opportunities post study. ”
