UCT Careers Service wins top awards

27 July 2016

UCT Careers Service has been voted the Best Careers Service and Best Careers Fair for 2016. The results were announced at the South African Graduate Employers Association (SAGEA) research seminar earlier this month.

This follows the independent SAGEA Employer Benchmark Survey 2016, which was conducted among 98 leading graduate employers in South Africa.

Director David Casey said the awards served as “fantastic recognition” from employers, one of Careers Service’s key stakeholder groups.

“These awards are measures of success for the continuous hard work, dedication and commitment of the Careers Service team during semester one and two of the graduate recruiting season.”

According to SAGEA, recruitment among South Africa’s leading graduate employers is at an all-time high, but competition remains strong. However, their survey had some good news for potential job seekers: graduate vacancies are set to increase by 10.3 percent in 2017.
