Our aims are:
What makes GROWTH unique is that in many instances we can offer financial assistance to companies wanting to take on a graduate. GROWTH administers a variety of government funded placement programmes which provide a wage subsidy for the first few months of a placement.
GROWTH was established in 1995 and has rapidly developed its UK and International placement work - we now have 3 offices in the UK. In addition, in 1996 we opened the GROWTH Employment Bureau at the University of Wales, Newport. The aim of this mould-breaking venture was to help students pay their way through university and, on graduation, to help with launching their careers.
The venture has proved so successful that in May 1997 we will be opening another GROWTH Employment Bureau at the North East Wales Institute in Wrexham, North Wales.
A further development has been the opening in October 1996 of the Gateway Japan Centre in partnership with Hereford City Council. The centre is based in Hereford City and provides a one-stop-shop for companies in the reigion who want to explore the opportunities of the Japanese market. The centre also arranges placements for Japanese graduates and young professionals into companies throughout the West Midlands and Wales.
GROWTH works closely with Graduates and Businesses to enhance the future of both.
