IBM To Create More Graduate Jobs Next Year

06 Dec 2009

IBM To Create More Graduate Jobs Next Year Personnel Today reported this week that IBM will be increasing the number of graduate jobs it will make available next year. This year the huge technology company had just short of a hundred graduate jobs on offer in its recruitment scheme. Next year the firm hopes to increase that figure by over half as many again so that they can offer 150 graduate jobs to students in 2010.

IBM has been voted The Times IT Graduate Employer of Choice for the 4 years running and The Target Graduate Employer of the year for the last 2 years in a row. They offer successful graduate job recruits support and a structured career development programme along with comprehensive training and flexible benefits and rewards.

Human Resources director at IBM, Jonathan Ferrar, said: "We recruit graduates because we can give them the training to develop new skills that we require. There are new technologies that we are putting in place and they require different skills, so we want to have people who can start from scratch and learn those. Where you get specialist skills there is definitely a war for that talent - there definitely is a crying need for that talent."

IBM also unveiled plans for a new analytics centre this week which could also create around 400 job vacancies - although they made it clear that not all of those would necessarily be new jobs for the company.

The news in the graduate job market seems to be slowly but surely brightening at the moment and we’ll continue to bring you all of the very latest graduate job opportunities on the e4s website.
