Three investors formed BrassRing, including the Washington Post and Tribune Company, which had purchased ASI this year. Tribune Company now holds only 36 per cent of BrassRing, according to a press release. The investors are still closing the deal. At UW, CECS.Online is the replacement for Access. CECS.Online according to Co-op and ASI officials will allow students to create resumes, view job postings, and rank and match with jobs over the web.
Access is the current system that provides a text interface to job listings and interview schedules.
CECS.Online was once scheduled to be introduced last winter. CECS and ASI subsequently announced that the system would be tested this summer and rolled out this term. CECS announced this summer that the deadline would not be met.
