Graduates should not underestimate the importance of university careers services, is has been asserted.
Guidance from these areas of educational organisations can be especially useful for those who know their intended employment path – which could include accountancy – according to the Guardian.
Martin Pennington – a director at the organisation - recommended taking advantage of all expertise available in an interview with the newspaper.
"The main way they [careers services] can do this is to try and increase student employability and develop the skills they need when they move into the workplace," he said.
Increasing numbers of students are beginning to think about life after university from their first year of study, Mr Pennington remarked.
Author Tanya de Grunwald also commented in the article that those who are "highly motivated" could find these services particularly helpful.
In related news, a recent Higher Education Policy Institute study found that students are spending more time studying alone than two years ago.
An average of 14.4 hours per week is spent improving knowledge, according to the research.
