What is a Graduate Associate?
Solent University wants to separate itself from Ben Lindsay but it’s struggling.
If they really want to get the facts straight, why on earth say “for a number of years” instead of just saying precisely how many years? Using the vague term suggests that they don’t know how many years it’s been, which in turn suggests that they’re just making it up.
Anyway that’s not what he says, so it will be interesting to see what (if anything) happens next.
I just wasted some time on the Solent University website that I really shouldn’t have. As far as I can make out a Graduate Associate is used for intern positions, generally with potential employers of recent graduates, to which the University contributes a month’s salary.
I also found an EDI report dated 2014 (see dates above) which talked about ‘attempting to establish’ a graduate Associate EDI position. There was no further information and the website didn’t list any EDI reports for subsequent years.
