IT’S ABOUT YOUR SKILLS & QUALITIES The pace of change is so fast that students who go on to university may subsequently enter jobs that haven’t yet been invented… with organisations who don’t currently exist! Around 70% of graduate jobs currently take graduates from ANY academic discipline So it’s not just about what course or subject you study, it’s also about your skills and qualities, for example…… www.theyetiltd.com

FULL-TIME HIGHER EDUCATION IN UK Key advantage: despite hundreds of course options, hundreds of subject combinations, 200+ universities and 200+ other providers…. ….at least these options are finite and can mostly be sourced and applied for in one place – UCAS! Don’t be totally put off by high tuition fees/loans: you don’t pay upfront….the loans are written off after 30 years….and uni will probably be a transformational, life-changing experience that will substantially enhance your employability www.theyetiltd.com

FULL-TIME UNI DEGREE IN UK The ten universities most-often targeted by Britain’s top graduate employers in 2014-2015 are (not in order): Manchester Nottingham Warwick Cambridge Oxford Durham Bristol Imperial College London University College London Leeds The highest published graduate starting salaries for 2015 are at Aldi (£42,000) and the European Commission (£41,500) Over four-fifths of the UK’s leading graduate employers are offering paid work experience programmes for students and recent graduates during the 2014-2015 academic year – an unprecedented 13,049 paid work placements are available Graduates who have had no previous work experience at all are unlikely to be successful during the selection process and have little or no chance of receiving a job offer www.theyetiltd.com
