Fledglings.net, the UKís premier student placement and graduate careers recruitment agency has expanded its network of university student placement officers and careers advisors to over 300, covering 281 UK & International institutions.
This expansion has created one of the largest direct recruitment networks for business in the UK. Linking UK based local, national and international businesses with more academic institutions directly than any other student placement company in the UK.

It provides placement officers with a service to assist them in placing students and graduates, as well as streamlining organisations efforts to take on a placement student or graduates providing them with one point of contact, rather than a number through their previous system.

The network in place has bypassed much of this work and has proved to be so successful that we are looking for students for 2004, as the 2003 vacancies have been filled already.î
