Graduates are more likely to choose jobs which offer training and development than those which promise a high salary, according to new research. An Ernst & Young survey reveals that 44 per cent of respondents rated training opportunities as the most important concern when job-hunting. This figure compares with 18 per cent which mentioned salary and benefits as most important, 16 per cent who valued work-life balance and 12 per cent who were most attracted by the business' reputation. Stephen Isherwood, head of graduate recruitment at Ernst & Young, said that graduates may have different expectations than more experienced employees. "Despite the many concerns students have when thinking about their future employer, it is still critically important for many of them that their new job offers them opportunities to learn and to develop their own careers," he remarked. The finding follows that of a report by Cass Business School in the City of London, which suggested that employees' commitment to their company is linked to their overall happiness.
