Notice Title

Graduate Programme Management System

Notice Description

During the management of graduates for the University of South Wales it is essential to have a structured way of handling applications, coordinating recruitment processes, scheduling training and placements, and monitoring each participant's progress through the programme. The scale and complexity of these activities, combined with the need to meet strict compliance, safeguarding, and reporting requirements, make it important to have a single, reliable platform for storing and accessing information. Such a system enables real-time visibility of participant data, facilitates communication between staff, graduates, and partner organisations, and ensures that all documentation is accurate, complete, and securely stored. It also provides the analytical tools needed to evaluate programme performance, measure outcomes, and make informed decisions that enhance both operational efficiency and the overall graduate experience. This procurement works to achieve the objectives discussed above.
