The awards
There are two main types of awards: the Sector Awards and the Student Panel Awards. Every single award within these two categories is voted on and determined exclusively by students, a fact that makes our graduate recruitment awards event unlike any other. In addition, there's also the AGCAS Award and The Rising Star Award – For the outstanding employee of the year.
These awards recognise the most popular graduate recruiters in the following fourteen sectors. The winner of each award is determined by an online student poll conducted by ‘the trendence institute’ and we’re expecting over 100,000 responses. All shortlisted organisations are also eligible to enter for the Graduate Employer of the Year Award.
