02Careers team feedback
It gave the careers team intelligence no other tool had.
Confidence in prioritising the students who need urgent support rose from 6 out of 10 to the maximum, and the team asked to run it across their whole cohort.
This is definitely a valuable tool to have in the careers services arsenal. I haven't encountered any similar tools yet in my role that does what Setlwork does, and to this level of depth.
