The decision to focus initially on first year undergraduates was based on Careers Advisory Service statistics which showed that most students were accessing resources and guidance in their third year. At this point many of them were still unaware of their own skills, of the job market and of how to market themselves effectively. The programme is targeted at first year undergraduates. However, a number of sessions are also being delivered to second and third years and this is an area for future expansion. The sessions are delivered within departments and where appropriate materials are tailored to meet subject specialist interests.
Sessions usually form part of a first year module.
The module title and time available will vary between departments. Sessions are mainly delivered by 2 members of staff, with the occasional input from Careers Advisers.
