The demand of hiring
graduates will now be on the rise in the United Kingdom since the
employment survey has reported that the number of jobs requiring a
graduate has outscored the total number of posts with no degree
requirements. In fact, graduates now are eligible to qualify over a
quarter of jobs in the UK since studies have revealed a major shift
in the employment market towards hiring knowledgeable and skilled
workers only. This has resulted in the disappearance of positions
having no requirements for graduates.
The study
conducted recently in the Institute of Education in UK showed that
74% of the degree holders have qualified for jobs, whereas it was
recorded 69% in the year 2006. In this respect, Professor Francis
Green of the Institute of Education emphasised on the utilisation of
graduates in the workforce.

Jobs for graduates
to go high
The research was
conducted at the Institute of Education surveying a total of three
thousand adults associated with the employment market. Moreover, the
data collected recently from the Skills and Employment Survey showed
that the current employment landscape has received high figures for
graduate jobs while those for the unskilled jobs were recorded low.
The UK Commission for Employment and Skills, and Economic and Social Research Council
jointly sponsored the study and came up with recent evidences in
regard to the hardships faced by poor and unqualified young people
making way to the employment market. Moreover, this strengthened the
evidence towards the debate on whether the economy wants more or a
handful of graduates.
Economic growth to
strengthen
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on the other hand argued
that the more the number of skilled workers and graduates increase
with time, the stronger is the economic growth. Rather, those who
will not be having degrees or skills will find it quite difficult to
qualify for prestigious jobs. Moreover, a US research group named Pew
showed a major report stating that graduates were quite successful in
overcoming the era of recession by avoiding job losses and
safeguarding their income.
The study
conducted recently in the Institute of Education in UK showed that
74% of the degree holders have qualified for jobs, whereas it was
recorded 69% in the year 2006. In this respect, Professor Francis

graduates in the workforce.
Neil Carberry, the CBI's director of
education and skills has expressed enthusiasm towards saying that it
all depends on UK’s competitive ability which will let a huge
number of young individuals take effective routes to acquire key
skills. With time, economical changes will keep taking place and this
will result in the expansion of alternative routes to achieving
higher skills.
UK universities to
receive a record number of undergraduates
Consequently, the
demand for studying graduation courses under the UK universities has reached
heights. Undergraduates who have been working for quite some time are
now enrolling in online courses under accredited UK universities not
only to successfully complete graduation but to enhance their
professional standards. In fact, the universities here have started
making positive predictions to allure a record number of
undergraduates who will be enrolling in courses like:
- Marketing
- Finance and Law
- Computing and Media Design
- Health and Psychology
- Tourism and Hospitality
