UCU responds to graduate job market survey
11 February 2009
UCU said today that the fact new and recent graduates are competing in the most competitive graduate job market for years, saddled with record levels of debt, was a sad indictment of the government's student funding policy.
Commenting on the Association of Graduate Recruiters' survey of the graduate job market, UCU general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'The tough financial situation that the country finds itself in will impact on all of us, particularly recent and new graduates.
'UCU consistently opposed the policies that have forced students into greater levels of debts and we disputed the graduate premiums the government used to sell debt to potential students. Those policies have ensured that thousands of new and recent graduates are entering an incredibly competitive job market with record levels of student and commercial debt.'
