Graduate Employment Guidance

The careers center has workshops. The faculty has industry contacts. The international office knows the visa rules. The student needs all three — and has to discover, separately, that each exists.

Career support at most institutions is real, well-intentioned, and scattered across offices that do not share a front door. Students assemble their own employment journey from fragments, and the ones who assemble it late — or wrong — graduate into the gap.

Why scattered support underdelivers

Employment readiness is sequential: explore options, build the CV, gain experience, navigate work rights, apply, interview — each stage time-sensitive, several invisible until missed. The internship that mattered had a deadline in second year; the student found the careers center in final year. International students face the hardest version: a labor market they did not grow up decoding, employers unsure about their visa status, and post-study work options with rules and windows of their own. Support that exists but is not findable, at the stage it is needed, functionally does not exist.

What unified guidance provides

A Roadmap laying out the employment journey by stage and year, so second-year students learn what second year is for. The Opportunity Board carries internships, placements, and graduate roles in one visible stream. The Resource Library holds the assembled knowledge — CV guidance for this market, interview norms, work-rights basics with pointers to official sources, post-study options. The offices keep their expertise; the student finally gets one map.

How to build it

Six steps inside SumHubs

01
Map the employment journey by program year, with the deadlines students consistently discover too late flagged earliest.
02
Build the Roadmap so a student in any year sees what to do now and what is coming.
03
Run every opportunity — internships, placements, graduate programs — through the Opportunity Board.
04
Assemble the Resource Library across offices: market-specific CV and interview guidance, work-rights basics linked to official sources, post-study pathways.
05
Tailor visibly for international students; their questions are different and the generic answer wastes their click.
06
Pilot with one faculty and measure one number: how many students engage with career resources before final year.
