How Lancaster University integrated Career Centre into courses

Lancaster University was keen to consolidate their online career resources, utilising Access Career Development’s themes and content in Career Centre to support them in providing a 24/7 career resource for their students.

The ways they achieved this were as follows:

  • Lancaster University used DOTS framework and Career Edge theories to frame careers education, with the Careers Team working closely with academics in different departments to design programmes and courses, integrating Access Career Development’s Career Centre and embedding Access Career Development’s content to further enhance their existing offering;
  • Lancaster University created faculty specific programmes in Programme Manager. An example includes the Management School’s “Our Future Global Leaders” programme which has used Career Centre to further enhance learning;
  • For academic year 2019- 2020, the Careers Team aims to continue using programmes to develop their campus-wide careers education portfolio, as well as exploring how CV360 can streamline their careers assessment and student feedback.

Watch Matthew Howard, Undergraduate Careers Manager at Lancaster University, talk about the positive impact that the 24/7 online career service has had on their students at our Academic Client Conference:

Key outcomes

  • Programme Manager has increased platform activity by over 5000% between 2017 to 2019;
  • Programme Manager has increased the number of users by over 500% between 2017 to 2019;
  • Student feedback suggests it’s fun, interactive, and beneficial to have degree specialist employability content available 24/7.
