Graduate Talent Pool is part of a package of measures to support graduates to improve their employability skills and support business at the same time.
The service has been developed to help match the skills you require with those offered by new and recent graduates. Graduates can apply provided they graduated in 2008 or 2009 with at least a degree or foundation degree.
The Government is doing everything it can to provide real help now to employers and individuals to support them through the downturn and prepare for the upturn. We are increasing the number and range of opportunities for graduates to improve their employability.
