Nothing is more important to the new graduate than finding that first position and using it as a launching pad for a fulfilling professional life. With all the changes taking place in business, finding a company that offers opportunities for ongoing development is crucial.

Which is why this podcast from workplace engagement specialists, Best Companies, is so useful. In it, Wayne Turmel talks to Jo Causon, Director of Marketing and Corporate Affairs for the UK-based Chartered Management Institute about how to find companies that fit your goals and how to identify those development opportunities.

The podcast looks at what do new graduates need to consider in finding the perfect cultural fit and how they can use professional development strategically to further their career, even at this early stage.

So how do you spot companies that will offer these opportunities? Listen to find out.
