The September Website: Grab A Graduate

It isn’t easy these days for a new graduate to find suitable employment, particularly with a CV that is devoid of relevant work experience. 

Equally, many SMEs would benefit from being able to access the skills, youthful energy and creativity of a new graduate.  But they balk at taking on the risk and cost of permanently employing someone unknown and untested.

The win-win answer for both unemployed graduates and SMEs may be a fixed-term internship.  See for example the “GAP” Graduate Asset Programme (at www.gogap.co.za) which connects businesses with graduate interns via a free matching portal.  The site also provides a wealth of information and resources – for more, download their online pamphlet “Grab a Graduate – Get the intern advantage!” from their Business Tools page at www.gogap.co.za/toolshed/download/111.
