Graduate employers and diversity in the workplace

Achieving diversity in the workplace is a key issue for employers and following on from the introduction of legislation concerning age discrimination, the spotlight remains firmly on employers to prove that they are actively doing everything they can to not only attract and recruit graduates from all backgrounds, but to retain them as well.

Reaching the entire student community

TARGETchances events are tailor-made programmes that help graduate employers reach the best and brightest students. Each of the TARGETchances programmes attract bright, talented and career-motivated students from all sections of the community. Our events have been running since 1999 and to date over 5,000 high-flying students from a diverse range of backgrounds, including ethnic minority, female, disabled and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered students, have already benefited from our intensive real-life tasters of working life across many different business and industry sectors. Each TARGETchances event delivers a pool of exceptionally bright, pre-screened students that match your specific recruitment needs. The vast majority of our students have gone on to successfully pursue careers in the sponsor sectors.

Key objectives

Our events are designed around several key objectives:

  • To raise awareness of a sector and increase the quality and quantity of applications for clients within the target audience.
  • To position an employer as a recruiter of choice within the target audience.
  • To deliver an innovative and challenging careers experience at employers’ offices.
  • To attract top-quality candidates from the student groups employers struggle to attract and recruit talent from.
  • To upskill the student audience so that their personal accomplishments and talents really shine during the selection process.
