UK graduate programmes Top 200 employers
As you know there are a large number of graduates that are unemployed. I believe the top 200/100 UK employers to offer a better/ less stricter requirements in terms of qualifications, a UK pass at grade C or above, and a 2.2 or above should be accepted on to graduate programmes.
Its an unfair system that most UK top employers continue to request whereby 45% of graduates get a 2.2. They are being left out of the job graduate job market unfairly
A grade C at A-level or 2.2 at degree level is not a fail, and should not be treated as one by the top UK employers. If this is the case, the a 2.2 or grade C should be classed a fail within the education system.
A requirement for a minimum grade of 2:2 will allow more people to progress within top companies career levels, particularly those from lower working class backgrounds.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Provided an employers policies meet the requirements of anti-discrimination legislation, the choice of who an employer offers a job to is a commercial one and not one for which the Government can reasonable regulate.
