Standard resumes often fail to capture the full narrative of a student’s potential. A traditional CV is a static snapshot, a list of grades and dates that rarely captures the breadth of a student’s capabilities or their unique personal circumstances. For career centres and employers, this lack of context makes it difficult to provide personalised support or make accurate hiring decisions.

We have completely overhauled the user experience with the New Profile View to address this limitation. This is not merely a visual refresh, it is a structural upgrade designed to present a comprehensive, holistic story of the student’s professional journey.

A 360-Degree View of Talent

Matching the right student to the right role requires depth. The New Profile View is built on the premise that more information leads to better outcomes. We have expanded the data fields to include critical details that go beyond the standard resume.

Students can now input comprehensive personal information, career preferences, and even emergency contacts. While these may sound like administrative details, they play a crucial role in the support ecosystem. For example, knowing a student’s specific career preferences allows career counselors to push relevant opportunities their way, rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach to distribution.

Safety and Compliance

Including emergency contacts and personal details is particularly vital for institutions managing internships and placements for vulnerable populations or large cohorts. When a university sends a student out into the workforce, they retain a duty of care. Having immediate access to emergency contact details within the New Profile View ensures that the institution is compliant and prepared to support the student in any situation.

Highlighting the Latest Achievements

Academic environments are fast-paced, and students are constantly upskilling—completing workshops, earning certifications, or finishing capstone projects. The updated profile is designed to keep the student’s latest achievements front and centre.

The new layout ensures these updates are not buried under older data. It highlights the latest milestones, ensuring that when an employer or a career counsellor views the profile, they are seeing the most current version of that student’s capabilities. This real-time reflection of growth is essential for accurate placement and ensures the student’s best foot is always forward.

Streamlining the Path to Employment

By centralising all student data into a clean, intuitive interface, the New Profile View ensures counsellors spend less time hunting for information and more time providing high-value guidance.

It allows career teams to view the “whole student.” Understanding a beneficiary’s background, their stated preferences, and their current skills gap in one view allows for a level of personalised service that is usually impossible to scale across thousands of individuals. It transforms the profile from a mere document into a dashboard for success.
