Graduate employers have been told to consider honouring job offers to students who have been unable to finish their degrees as a result of the UK’s ongoing marking and assessment boycott.
With many universities now advising students of delays in receiving their final marks, the Institute of Student Employers (ISE) has advised firms to look at how they can limit disruption for their next cohort of employees and ensure they can start roles as planned.
“Graduate employers who make offers conditional on a student’s final degree classification should make contingency plans,” said ISE chief executive Stephen Isherwood.
“This may include basing offers on existing grades, amending offer terms and conditions or continuing as planned and assessing the situation when the degree is finally awarded.”
