Employability Evidence Programme
Intended participants
Students, graduates and early career professionals supported by careers, employability or widening participation teams.
Problem addressed
Many students and graduates have done far more than they can describe. They under-report part-time work, caring responsibilities, volunteering, society leadership and placement contribution, and then struggle to evidence skills in applications and interviews.
