Helping Students in the Toughest Employment Conditions for a Generation
LONDON, February 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Abintegro, the online career-building website, announces that
it has successfully launched a higher education tool-set designed to improve
graduate employability, and has signed a contract with Regent's College
London which will see students using the tool-set to build CVs and personal
development plans (PDPs).
"Our aim is to help all students and graduates enhance their
career prospects" said Tony Heard, Managing Director of Abintegro. "Our
relationship with Regent's College is an exciting development in our journey
and a fantastic opportunity for their students to enhance their career
development. It also provides an innovative solution for the College careers
service as it delivers its graduate employability objectives."
Spencer Coles, Director of Marketing & Student Recruitment at
Regent's College commented, "Preparing graduates for the competitive
employment market is at the heart of the careers service and Abintegro's
unique software provides an ideal solution for high quality CV production and
PDPs." He added "We chose Abintegro's solution due to its contemporary
interface, flexible set up and its ability to manage students with different
levels of experience from undergraduate to MBA. Abintegro's solution will
assist communication between academics and the careers service and provide
students with a central CV and PDP platform; this, we hope, will alleviate
much of the frustration felt by students when different advice is given on
the best way to produce a CV and build a PDP."
The Abintegro tool-set helps students maximise their chances
of succeeding in the job selection process with a 3DCV(R) and Grow Plan(TM).
The 3DCV(R) enables students to bring together everything they
do throughout their higher education years to gradually build an innovative
three-dimensional picture of their student career. They can go beyond the
traditional CV and stand out from the crowd by:
- Capturing and articulating their achievements around skills
and capabilities considered to be most important by employers when recruiting
graduates;
- Having achievements endorsed or validated by the Higher
Education Institution's careers service, its academics or by employers. This
means that internship, volunteering or other work experience can be clearly
documented and evidenced.
The Grow Plan(TM) enables students to build a personal
development plan by capturing and tracking goals structured around skills and
capabilities. Objectives or learning outcomes can also be pre-populated by
the Higher Education Institution, which can then be worked on by the students
and their progress recorded.
"Having a comprehensive portfolio of achievements from the moment they
step out of the higher education environment, and presenting them in a way
which really resonates with employers, is a great way to enhance a graduate's
career prospects" Tony concluded.

Abintegro can transform how students, graduates and
