So, in the mid-1960s, when companies began touring universities to promote and advertise their job opportunities directly to candidates, the visits became known informally as "the milk round".
It wasn't a central resource, but it was a seasonal habit of the firms with significant graduate recruitment policies.
In many cases the initial training scheme involves mentoring by a more senior member of the organisation.
Careers services also liaise with companies, to prevent clashes and help advertise the events.
Since the late 1990s, activity generally associated with the milk round has moved online with the creation of web-based graduate job boards, CV databases and agencies.
