Company taking on graduates exposed in newspaper piece (6)

I believe the answer is:
column
This might be a double definition.
'company taking on graduates' is the first definition.
'column' can be an answer for 'company' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'taking on graduates' bit.
'newspaper piece' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'exposed in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for column that I've seen before include "Pillar - newspaper slot" , "Convulsive muscular contraction" , "Vertical division of page" , "Nelson's pillar" , "Trajan's or Nelson's" .)
