“Our data also shows that the highest number of jobs available for grads at the moment are within similar sectors, with graduate engineers, graduate management trainees, finance graduates and graduate electrical engineers most in demand. In addition, the fastest-growing jobs year on year include graduate civil engineers, graduate project engineers and graduate quantity surveyors.”“Speaking to colleagues in the food and hospitality sectors, it is booming.

Coupled with the cost-of-living crisis and housing crisis, this can limit the choices facing graduates or impact what roles they can realistically take.
“Graduates and students are talking of the housing crisis, and how it impacts their studies,” says Vahey. “These are not conversations about buying a house, but about finding somewhere to live.”
