Chasing down the future leaders of the UK pharma and med tech Industry

As the CHASE Recruitment Consultant for our Graduate Academy, I recently attended Career Fairs in a variety of Universities across the UK. All the events were well attended and from the moment the venues opened, I had a constant queue of keen students wanting to know all about CHASE and how we can help them gain their first job into the Pharmaceutical, Medical Tech and Life-Science industry. Whilst there, I noticed the same questions came up repeatedly in conversation so thought it would be useful to share them!

What does the Graduate Academy provide?

The programme has been tailored to fit the needs of Graduates to help them identify transferable skills and provide guidance during the interview and assessment centre stages of the recruitment process.
