Graduate
Prospects is the UK’s leading provider of information, advice
and opportunities to students and graduates and every year we join the
hundreds of employers across the UK attending careers fairs in a bid to
interact and raise awareness among the thousands of students and
graduates who take part.
A suitable
graduate can be difficult to find, and with everyone competing for the
best talent you have to use every avenue you can to maximise your
chances of finding the right match for your company.
Careers fairs are
one of the best ways to find graduates, presenting an excellent
opportunity to meet potential candidates face-to-face and market your
company to this niche audience.
We produce a
series of publications such as Prospects Finalist, a careers magazine
that gets distributed on campus and at fairs, offering employers the
perfect platform to support their fair campaigns.
2010 will be the
fourth year running that Avanti Express has provided delivery services
to Graduate Prospects in support of our attendance at university
careers fairs around the country. This year's campaign for Avanti is
already under way. Having started at Brunel University on 17th May, it
goes as far as Belfast and will finish at Islington on 22nd June. In
between fairs, the stand that Avanti looks after will cover thousands
of miles and be erected and taken down 18 times.
For each fair
Avanti will research the location and times for delivering and setting
up the Graduate Prospects exhibition stand. After the fair is complete,
which might be later the same day, or for some of the larger
universities, it might be two days later, the driver returns, takes
down the stand, packs it away carefully and either takes it on to the
next venue or returns it to the Avanti warehouse.
Mike Threlfall at
Graduate Prospects says: “The graduate career fairs we attend
are instrumental in helping graduates into their first employment, so
the collection and delivery at set times to these events are extremely
important. Avanti has carried out this work to an excellent standard
over the past four years.
“We now
have Avanti as our main distributor for our flagship product, Prospects
Directory. Almost 100,000 copies are delivered to more than 230
University Career Services within the UK. I would not hesitate in
recommending Avanti to anyone who wishes to get their products safe and
sound to anywhere in the country.”
