Recent research by the Association of Investment Companies found that 55 per cent of university students are concerned they will not be able to secure employment after they graduate.
However, Graduate Recruitment Bureau co-founder Dan Hawes said that students should not concentrate on the dwindling opportunities offered by recruitment schemes and urged them to consider the wider jobs market.
'There are lots of other jobs that aren't necessarily on schemes but require a degree. This is the big picture stuff that doesn't get widely reported,' he commented.
Furthermore, Mr Hawes said there has been a recent increase in the number of companies which are using recruitment agencies to fill their vacancies with graduates.
Last month, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation claimed that the recession has had a greater effect on the chances of young people finding a job than any other age group and called for more support to help them into work.
