This is another post in the series of posts on analysis of the High Fliers Research report on The Graduate Market in 2013. The report can be downloaded from High Fliers Research here.

In this section we look at the Graduate Salaries outlook for 2013. The report is based on the analysis of Times Top 100 Graduate Employers.

5% Increase in Work Experience Places Available in 2013

The Graduate Market in 2013 reports that “over half (of top 100 graduate employers) stated that it was either ‘not very likely’ or ‘not at all likely’ that a graduate who’d had no previous work experience – either with their organisation or another employer – would be successful during their selection process and be made a job offer”

There are more than 11,300 places on offer to students and recent graduates from The Top 100 Graduate Employers.

To see which sector is increasing the number of work experience positions on offer, see this report.

Industrial Placements Offered By More Than 50%

Three-quarters of the graduate vacancies advertised this year by City investment banks and half the training contracts offered by the leading Law firms are likely to be filled by graduates who have already completed work experience with the employer.
