TALENTCORP EQUIPPING GRADUATES WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO KICK-START SOUND CAREERS

Employers today are not just looking for graduates with strong academic achievements, excellent presentation skills and good command of English.

Common feedback from interviewers is that candidates “lack the skills to do the job” or that they have “no relevant experience”.

Responding to this, the average fresh graduate will often say, “How do I learn new skills and gain experience if I am not given the opportunity?”

As a result, graduates often experience a sense of helplessness about their career prospects and what steps to take to meet the expectations of employers.

Recognising this misalignment, TalentCorp is actively working with employers to help bridge this gap.

It runs various graduate employability programmes, in collaboration with leading organisations, to raise career awareness among students and enhance their school-to-work transition, with the ultimate aim of giving them a great head start in their career.
