Warwick Careers Service Launches myAdvantage
We know one size doesn't fit all . . .
Warwick will be the first university in the Northern Hemisphere to introduce a new online service for its Student Careers & Skills department which will integrate all activities for students, graduates and employers.
myAdvantage uses software supplied by CareerHub based in Australia and will bring together services and resources relating to career and skills development, Warwick Voluntee
rs, work experience and placements, careers fairs and employer presence on campus. Students and graduates will be able to access targeted information
specifically relevant to them, and use tools such as a CV builder and an e-Portfolio to give them an advantage in the graduate job market.
myAdvantage will enhance the Student Careers & Skills department by increasing its capacity to report on and evaluate all of its work, thus enabling it to strategically plan and target services according to demonstrable need. This new solution will significantly improve both service quality and operational efficiency.
The new system will be launched on Monday 26 April with new features being regularly introduced throughout the Summer and Autumn terms.
