The platform makes use of crowdsourcing or expert contributions to populate and grow the information used by students to make informed career decisions.
Contributions to the Careers Platform
The purpose of this platform is not to reinvent information but to merge what is available into a more concise and usable form. We realised that there needs to be a hands-on approach to gathering, sifting, and communicating information, rather than just duplicating what is available online. Our research has shown that even basic information on some careers is contradictory and difficult for younger students to understand. Add this to the already dismal figure of over 70% of students not knowing how to research different careers within a specific market, and we definitely need to rethink what we present to them and how.
