Career capital that nobody can see
Part-time work, placements, projects, volunteering and student leadership all build real capability. Students routinely discount it, and employers rarely get a readable account of it.
For universities
Your students already hold career capital. Most of it is invisible.
Employability conversations usually start with what a student is missing. GradWIN starts with what they already bring — and helps them make a more informed next move, alongside the work your career team already does.
Recognition first, then direction
GradWIN starts from a student's own account of what they've done, shows what that appears to demonstrate and why, and asks whether it got them right. Nothing is treated as proven on the strength of a claim.
Supporting career teams, not replacing them
Advisers can explore career directions, see the capabilities commonly relevant to a role, build a recommended pathway and share it with a student — without touching individual student data. Judgement, context and advocacy remain with your team.
Students own their data
Individual information is only visible to a staff member if that student grants access, and that access expires and can be withdrawn. A shared university domain is not consent.
What we don't claim
GradWIN does not cause employment outcomes, and we won't claim it lifts placement or employment rates. What it changes is how clearly existing capability can be understood — by the student first.
Frequently asked questions
Why would a university work with GradWIN?+
Because a large amount of student career capital is invisible — to employers, and often to the student. GradWIN helps students recognise the experience they already have, understand what matters for the direction they're considering, and make a more informed next move. It supports your career team's work rather than duplicating it.
Why should we trust it?+
GradWIN keeps what a student told us separate from what has been spotted, confirmed or actually assessed. Nothing is quietly upgraded into proof, there is no institutional employability score, and unknown is never presented as a deficiency. Students own their career data and control who can see it.
Does GradWIN replace our careers service?+
No. Career advisers do work GradWIN cannot: judgement, context, advocacy and human relationships. GradWIN is complementary — it never presents itself as a replacement for institutional advice or an employer program.
What can a career adviser do in GradWIN today?+
An adviser can explore career directions and the capabilities commonly relevant to them, build a recommended pathway for a role, and share that pathway with a student. Nothing in that flow uses an individual student's data.
Can staff see individual student information?+
Only if that student explicitly grants access, and that access expires and can be withdrawn at any time. Sharing a university domain is not permission, and a verified institutional email does not give visibility of students.
