Griffith’s Careers fair represented mostly science and business jobs this year, leaving arts out in the cold.

 

Accounting, economics and commerce dominated the fair, with 37 per cent of stalls offering jobs for finance graduates.

 

34 per cent of stalls wanted engineering graduates, 25 per cent wanted business degrees, 22 per cent wanted IT graduates and only 4 per cent of stalls specifically asked for arts students to apply.

 

Head of Griffith’s Careers and Employment Division, Tony Lyons, says: “Students from non-business disciplines can still ‘market’ themselves into these organisations even if they are not specifically advertising for their discipline”
