There are a variety of reasons as to why this occurs, particularly in the uk. The most prominent is the lack of awareness of joining a start-up as an achievable or even applicable career option.
NACUE, the business which I work on, encompasses a network of 40,000 enterprising students. And our biggest barrier is enabling students and grads to understand that are different modes of being entrepreneurial post graduation, and therefore 3 career options:
1. Launching a company
2. Being entrepreneurial whilst working for one of the big boys - an intrapreneur
3. Joining a start-up team
The third has the greatest potential. Given the thriving start-up community in London and others areas, and still, the record graduate unemployment.
We're working on raising the awareness of the above problem. Looking to launch a programme next year - this can hopefully tie into the milkround.
Lastly, I don't think you need to be on campus. What we all need is to be visible, and that is achieved through networks (i.e. ADCAS, EEUK) and online, social media - that's where they're engaged.
I've promoted this across network - have a good one this weekend. Also, based in Old Street if you want to share some ideas.
