Graduate Placement Programme
The Graduate Placement Programme is offered in conjunction with the University of Auckland's Department of Marketing, and was established in 1990.
The goals of the programme are:
- To help marketing graduates find the right start to their career
- To make it easier for companies to develop a good talent pipeline.
Not all graduates go into marketing positions - in fact most go into roles with a variety of pathways to sales, supply chain or finance as well as marketing. Most of the long term clients for the programme find it significantly more effective to build long term talent from the start than try and meld other companies efforts into their culture.
Client companies pay a fee for access to a pool of quality graduates, pre-screened and briefed by Swann.
Swann conduct seminars at the University to prepare final year marketing students for their careers:
- Speakers from different industries and levels are invited to share their experiences of a career in marketing.
- Many of these speakers are programme participants from previous years, who return to share advice and insights based on their progress.
- General subjects include career path development, career planning, CV writing skills and interview techniques.
