“ THE STUDENTS’ CHOICE AWARDS“
PREFERRED GRADUATE EMPLOYERS ANNOUNCED AS VOTED FOR BY TERTIARY STUDENTS IN THE LARGEST SURVEY OF ITS KIND.
The Students’ Choice Awards is the leading platform recognising outstanding top graduate employers in South Africa. These Awards recognise employers that current tertiary students want to work for, as voted for by the students themselves. In 2024, the awards recorded almost 6000 submissions from students all across South Africa.
Each student is asked to list their top five employers, with no parameters or suggestions provided, just purely based on their understanding of the graduate employment marketplace. This data is then mined, the answers separated into 22 industry categories and the top three companies in each sector are invited to attend the Awards on the 6th of December, making it an elite celebration.
To enhance this celebration, the Top 100 students of 2024 are invited to the event, and announce the winners, as it is their voice that made this recognition possible. This also ensures an exciting gathering of top employers, recruiters and the top students in the country.
The evening culminates in the announcement of the Top 5 overall employers, an award scooped by Absa in 2023.
Laura Barker, founder of the GradStar Awards and CEO of BlackBark Productions says, “We are over the moon to be hosting the Momentum Metropolitan Students’ Choice Awards, these young people are our future and are here to take the country forward, their opinions matter and we need to hear what they think. We developed the Momentum Metropolitan Students’ Choice Awards as a demonstration of our commitment to our future leaders, and corporate South Africa and joining the gaps in graduate recruitment.
