Training better than money

18 January 2012

Graduates still rank training and development over a large salary when selecting a future employer, and that view has largely remained unchanged by the recession, says an Ernst & Young survey. The online poll showed that 41% of graduates view training and development as the most important consideration when weighing up a potential employer. This compares to 44% when the same survey was last run in 2007. The biggest change in students’ views was around work-life balance, which fell from the third most important factor in 2007 to the fifth in 2011 – 16% to 11% respectively. Other options to vote on were as follows: business reputation (13%), people & culture (12%), work/life balance (11%), and ethical and environmental reputation (2%).
