"...get vacancies for graduates, it would really help...arrange job seeking seminars for graduates" Arts and Social Science Graduate
Reply - The CES does source and advertise graduate vacancies and graduates are eligible to attend any session in the workshop programme. In summer 2009 we provided jobseeking seminars specifically aimed at graduates.
