aThe University Careers & Advice Centre are working on a pilot scheme to develop PGR employability prospects. The scheme is called Adept.
Financed by Roberts Funding, the scheme will recruit an Adept Coordinator for each College (who themselves will be a paid PGR from within that College) and they will work to promote employability opportunities for students towards the end of their PhD.
The Adept Coordinators will work closely with both University Careers and academics from their respective College to ensure a mixture of both academic and non-academic post-PhD careers.
Two important upcoming dates for Adept are:
21st April - the next Grad School networking lunch with an Adept-focussed presentation.
21st-24th June - PhD Careers Week with five events, each specifically tailored to the different Colleges.

More information to follow.
It is hoped that if the pilot scheme is successful, the University will continue funding Adept after the Roberts Funding runs out in 2011.
