World's Most Attractive Employers 2016
Over 267,000 business, engineering and IT students voted for the world's most attractive employers in 2016. This year's top 5 can be seen in the chart. The major Swiss companies Nestlé, Credit Suisse and UBS have also made it into the world's 50 most popular employers this year.
Universal Global's latest study reveals some interesting student preferences: Management and Strategy Consulting and Banks and Financial Services are high preference industries among business students. Media and advertising as well as the automotive industry are also popular industries among business students. The latter is also popular in neighboring Germany and Austria.
Banks, however, have lost some of their popularity among business students since last year - not so in Switzerland. Here, young economists still want to work at banks.
Engineering and IT students most want to work in Engineering & Manufacturing, Aerospace & Defence and Software & Computer Services. Energy has lost some of its popularity since last year.
Everyone wants work-life balance
Business and engineering/IT students are actively pursuing a balanced lifestyle with a work-life balance, global rankings show.
Work-life balance is the number one career goal in these fields of study for all countries except India and Russia. In India, an international career is seen as more important. In Russia, a secure job is crucial.
The Swiss results show that work-life balance also comes first here - among business students as well as engineering/IT students. This trend has been continuing since 2008.
