This year’s Early Careers Survey received 318 responses, with participation spread across various organisation types: 47% from large organisations, 48% from SMEs, and 5% from charitable or not-for-profit organisations. This closely aligns with last year’s distribution, which saw 49% large organisations, 45% SMEs, and 6% charitable or not-for profits. The consistent representation across organisation types reflects the widespread interest in attracting and supporting early career talent, regardless of organisational size or sector. It also reinforces the value placed on engaging with emerging professionals as a key part of workforce development strategies.
