Employers Want To Hire College Graduates With These Majors

Employers are more interested in hiring college graduates with a business degree than any other major, according to a new report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

Almost 70% of the 161 companies that responded to NACE's survey said they target business majors. The questionnaire asked employers representing industries such as agriculture, energy, and retail "to rate the academic disciplines they target for their college hires," according to Forbes — where we first saw this report.

Forbes describes NACE as a non-profit group that "links college placement offices with employers."

On the first day, we had 4 meetings with pre-selected agencies. As Konnetwork's key value, all the meetings were held in the agent's office.

Student visa system fraud uncovered by BBC Panorama.

The Home Office has suspended English language tests run by a major firm after BBC Panorama uncovered systematic fraud in the student visa system.

Secret filming of government-approved exams needed for a visa shows candidates having tests faked for them.

ETS, which sets the exams but does not appoint the invigilators, told Panorama it "does everything it can to detect and prevent" cheating.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the BBC's evidence was "very shocking".

Panorama saw candidates for tests set by ETS, one of the largest language testing firms in the world, being replaced by "fake sitters" and having answers read out to them.

For the last year, the programme has been filming undercover, following a network of agents helping people obtain student visa extensions through fraud.
