New Quality Mark To Help Out Graduates In Their Long Term Career Goals
The National Council for Work Experience, which is committed to creating the best possible career paths for graduates throughout the United Kingdom, recently announced the establishment of a new quality, or "kite," marks for graduate work experiences. Called the Excellence in Work Experience program, this new program will assess and analyze how entry level graduate jobs and student work help graduates prepare for future career plans. The new program will start at 2,500 to 3,000 pounds for participating companies, which includes advisory time, assessment services, and accreditation over the three years of this program. This new evaluation program is available to any UK recruiting company that offers jobs to students and recent graduates.
The biggest problem facing university students and graduates once they leave school is how their past job experiences relate to open graduate jobs throughout the United Kingdom. With this new quality mark, employers and employees alike can see how past positions and performance will fit in with open jobs. This common standard for work experience helps university graduates, who often have to creatively explain how their skills will fit in with a variety of positions. As well, the Excellence in Work Experience program helps companies strengthen their relationship with universities throughout the United Kingdom and improve the work experience for student workers.
For the aforementioned fee, the National Council for Work Experience will provide evaluation, enforcement, and strategic guidance. The evaluation process involves advisors comparing the expectations and realities of a company's student work experience and standards set by the Council. Several criteria are involved in this evaluation, including commitment to the work experience by the employer, the effectiveness of the company's recruitment and placement methods, and the evaluation and mentoring process by company personnel toward students.
The Council also has created a code of practices that needs to be adhered to by participating companies. One requirement of companies under this code is the creation of appropriate job descriptions, so that graduates understand the job duties they are responsible for in their positions. As well, companies need to offer a contract of employment laying out the various requirements and regulations enforced on a daily basis. Finally, companies need to adhere to safety and health regulations in order to continue on in the program. However, managers and executives are not left to their own devices to meet program requirements. The Council provides strategic guidance to help companies exceed these standards of workplace excellence.
