University of Chichester joins scheme designed to help graduates get jobs

The University of Chichester has joined forces with the University of Southampton, Southampton Solent University and Winchester University to become a partner with the Graduate Jobs South(GJS) initiative.

The GJS project is an online graduate job portal which is designed to match students and graduates with opportunities in local firms in West Sussex and across the south coast. Employers simply register with the website to list company details, logo and vacancies which are uploaded to the website within 24 hours making GJS one of the fastest and easiest ways to recruit locally.

Students and graduates from any university or college can register to receive email alerts updating them to the excellent opportunities within the region.GJS was set up using funds from The South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).

GJS is well established within the South and many businesses are using its services to tap into the skills of graduates and students. The University of Chichester was keen to join the project as West Sussex businesses would benefit from the skills of their graduates.

John Gallally, Head of Careers at the University of Chichester commented: “We are really pleased to have joined GJS as we have highly skilled graduates who wish to remain in the area following graduation and this service enables them to find the best jobs and the best employers for their career plans.

GJS will not only enable employers in West Sussex to benefit from the skills our graduates bring, but will enable us to develop closer links between the University, local and regional businesses for consultancy, work placements and research knowledge transfer. This is an important project which will benefit our local economy by helping to retain highly skilled graduates in the region who will contribute towards business growth.”
