Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The ACFF Careers Fair has attracted interest from many corporations; to date, 50 mainstream companies are exhibiting, showing a commitment to diversity and plurality in the workforce.
Champion sponsors playing a pivotal role in the success of the Careers Fair are Bankers Trust, CitiBank, JP Morgan, the Post Office, the Commission of Racial Equality (CRE) and Midland Bank.
Other sponsors are Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Shell, Choice 96.9FM, and "The Independent" and "The Voice" newspapers.
There will be a variety of exhibitors' stands for graduates to visit, including Price Waterhouse, McDonald's, the Royal Air Force, Ford Motor Company and HM Prison Service.
Major corporate involvement ensures that organisations are aware of the rich potential of graduates who remain under-represented in the workforce. The common reason for many of the companies exhibiting at the ACFF fair is, as Price Waterhouse declared, "... to recruit and develop the best and brightest candidates with full regard to equal opportunity issues".
