AGCAS: Employers shortlisted for curriculum work with careers services

Employers shortlisted for curriculum work with careers services

Six employers have been shortlisted for the 2010 AGCAS Award for the Outstanding Contribution to Developing Employability and Skills in the Curriculum. They were all nominated by higher education careers services. The award is one of the prestigious annual TARGETjob awards offered by GTI.

The shortlist

• BT - nominated by the University of Manchester

• Deloitte - nominated by the University of Leicester

• Enterprise Rent-A-Car - nominated by Edge Hill University and the
   University of Hertfordshire

• Experian - nominated by Nottingham Trent University

• NHS - nominated by Liverpool John Moores University

• RWE Npower - nominated by the University of Liverpool, City University,
   University of Reading, Queen's University Belfast, Imperial College London
   and the University of Bristol

AGCAS asked each member service to nominate an organisation who has demonstrated commitment and expertise in working with them to add value to programmes relating to skills development, employability, career management or preparation for work. The shortlisted employers have worked closely with the careers services who nominated them in designing, developing and delivering sessions. The judges were particularly looking for evidence of positive feedback from students and innovation in materials or delivery.

The winner will be announced at the TARGETjobs National Graduate Recruitment Awards dinner at Grosvenor House in London on 18 March 2010.

Offer for AGCAS members

GTI are once again offering reduced price tickets for AGCAS members to attend the awards dinner. Tickets cost £105 per person (compared to £215 for everyone else) and this includes a champagne reception, slap-up meal, wine on the table, celebrity presenter, the awards themselves, charity auction and casino and the usual dancing and drinking. The audience is comprised mainly of senior recruitment people from graduate recruiting companies so it’s an excellent networking opportunity, as well as a great night out.
