Having completed your degree, you are now ready to enter the working world. The field of human resources offers wide ranging opportunities for a rewarding and successful career. Many graduate schemes involve rotational placements in different areas of human resources to learn different aspects such as employee relations, recruitment, training, HR law, performance management and strategy.

A graduate will build up their professional knowledge through the day-to-day workings of a business and will gain valuable knowledge which will form the foundation of their career. This could include supporting the development and implementation of HR initiatives and systems and being actively involved in recruitment by preparing job descriptions and assisting in the appointment of candidates.
