13th May 2010: Neil Harrison, Head of Planning and Research at TMP Worldwide (TMP), regularly presents at the Targetjobs Breakfast News events in London. Neil will be presenting TMP’s student research at the plenary session at this year’s gradireland Graduate Employers Conference on the effects of the recession on graduate attitudes and their perceptions of graduate employer brands.
Around 200 graduate employers and third-level careers advisers are expected to attend Ireland's fourth annual gradireland Graduate Employers Conference at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, organised jointly by GTI Ireland and Graduate Careers Ireland, the professional association of third-level careers services in Ireland.
This year's Conference will take place on Thursday 20 May from 10.00 am to 5.30 pm at the Burlington Hotel, Dublin, and will be followed by the gala gradireland Graduate Recruitment Awards dinner.
Neil Harrison, head of Research and Planning at TMP says; “A campus brand is not the same brand it was in 2009. The recession has seen to that. No employer and no market sector will be viewed outside the context of the downturn and what changes it has wrought.
This generation of students have not lived through a recession before and have only the vaguest idea about what such economic times mean to recruitment, careers and employment. They are looking at graduate employers for some form of guidance and direction. They want you to acknowledge the fact that the recession has happened, how you have responded and what this means for them and their careers.”
Neil Harrison, Jayne Cullen, Head of Graduate Solutions at TMP, and the TMP Dublin team will be available at the TMP Worldwide stand at the conference.
The whitepaper on Campus brands post recession can be requested via the TMP website.
