Transform graduate outcomes with AI-powered career planning software

Improve how students prepare for employment - and how your advisors spend their time. Students independently explore careers, build workplace confidence, and navigate their job search through intelligent tools and feedback, including AI-powered feedback for applications and interview practice. They arrive at appointments ready for strategic conversations with clear direction. Your team delivers the high-impact coaching they excel at, focusing on complex guidance that truly requires human expertise. 

Scale your impact without scaling your team

The regulatory pressure is real

The Office for Students (OfS) requires 60% of graduates to progress into professional employment or further study. Universities falling below this threshold face investigation, sanctions, and reputational damage. Without scalable systems, tracking how interventions influence outcomes remains virtually impossible. 

UK university career services need scalable solutions 

Career services teams excel at strategic coaching and complex case support—but there simply aren't enough hours to provide this level of guidance to every student. 

With limited capacity, teams must prioritise how they allocate time. Foundational support activities—CV reviews, basic career exploration, interview preparation—are essential but time-intensive. When these consume the majority of advisor time, fewer students can access the strategic, personalised coaching that addresses their specific barriers and opportunities. 

The challenge isn't capability—it's capacity. The result? Variable student access to support, graduate employment rates at risk of falling and pressure on TEF ratings as institutions struggle to demonstrate consistent impact.
