CII warns of potential graduate recruitment shortfall
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) Group has highlighted results from recent surveys – one finding that 22% of employers said UK candidates lacked the right qualifications and 16% could not find UK candidates with the right skills - and warned that the industry needs to take apprenticeships and graduate recruitment seriously to avoid long term implications.
Findings from the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR) Winter Review 2008 have shown that while graduate vacancies will be over 16% higher than last year – making it the highest level this decade – the insurance sector will be one of only two sectors not anticipating any growth in graduate recruitment.
The Incomes Data Services poll of employers (Pay and Progression for Graduates) also supports this trend: financial services employers likely to recruit 15% fewer graduates this year compared
