“One of the biggest accountancy firms in the UK, Deloitte stated in December last year that it would be employing people straight from school, as it feared highly intelligent people that are suitable for a role with them may not get the employment chances they need if they are deterred from University due to the new higher student fees and in February of this year they officially opened their scheme and is open for students who have completed A-Levels or equivalent,” John Kerr, managing partner for talent at Deloitte, commented, “The BrightStart scheme is now open, creating a route for 100 high achieving school leavers to join our firm in September 2011. The scheme provides the opportunity to embark on a career with exceptional prospects to gain a full professional business qualification.” With this move many business groups have said that it also highlights a growing ‘suspicion’ “The new maximum £9,000 student fee is expected to force many school leavers to think twice about heading to university in fear of amassing big debts, so companies such as Deloitte have decided to set up a national programme of hiring school leavers who have lots of potential,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You. Labour’s business spokesperson Jon Denham said: ‘English students will now face the highest fees of any public university system in the industrialised world. Only the government thinks that this will not have an adverse effect on future student choices. ‘They are ignoring what thousands of families and young people are saying. ‘And now they are flying in the face of what business is saying. The government has got it wrong.’ It is expected that the amount of talented young employees at university is likely to shrink due to the increased tuition fees and nearly a third of bosses say that they are ‘struggling’ John Kerr from Deloitte also said, ‘We recognise we are only as good as our people, making it imperative to find different ways to identify and support the people who can make a difference to clients. These people are not defined by the school or university they attend or their social background.’ Deloitte are not the only company out there now employing straight from school as the other 3 of the “Big 4” accountancy firms are also looking to employ people straight from school as they also feel that the rising student fees and living costs etc could force people away from university and affect their companies. “KPMG, Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers have all set up school leaver programmes so they can potentially get the talented staff that they may have missed out on because they were put off university because of the fees and expenses,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You. http://www.poor- Poor Credit Loans 4 You helps out people who fear they have been blacklisted because of past poor credit history which could include CCJ’s and defaults, arrears, late credit card payments or repossession.
