The major investment banks will be increasing their number of banking graduate jobs against all expectations.

This is according to a report in the Guardian, which says that Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley and Barclays Capital will all implement more banking graduate schemes in 2010 than they did this year.

It is estimated that, if other financial institutions follow suit, there could be a 30 per cent increase in the number of banking graduate jobs available.

Such a shift had not been expected, particularly after it was revealed that the number of entry-level positions in the investment banking sector fell by 44 per cent between 2007 and 2009.

Head of the London School of Economics’ careers service Fiona Sandford told the newspaper that the “big black hole” that occurred during the recession of the early 1990s had not emerged.

“They were much wiser this time around,” she explained.

“They kept their presence on campus and they kept small internship classes going.”

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills recently said that that a number of small businesses are benefiting from the talented pool of graduates who had recently graduated from university.
