New AGCAS website launched
AGCAS's new website was launched on February 9th 2008. It is aimed at AGCAS members, members of the wider careers education, advice, information and guidance community, graduate recruiters and anyone who is interested in the graduate labour market.
Chris Jackson, AGCAS's Communications and Marketing Manager, hopes that the site will be easy to use and says that there are also lots of new features:
Have a look, in particular, at the new Communities section, which will allow users to see in one place all the articles, events, resources and jobs related to specific areas of interests or regions. There are already over 30, but there will be even more in the coming months.
Chris reminds users that to see all the content to which they have access, they'll have to register with the site and sign in each time they use it.
It will only take a minute. If you don't bother, you'll still see most of the site but nothing which has any permissions restrictions attached to it. Usernames and passwords are individual - and you can choose your own.
Content Developer, Gemma Green, says:
We have gone live at the earliest opportunity, so if you can't find something that you'd expect to be there, do get in touch. We're constantly adding new features and content, as well as material from the old site, and will try to prioritise anything that users tell us they need.
At first, access will be mostly read-only, but AGCAS members will soon be able to submit job vacancies, news items and details of events and resources. However, even now, some articles invite AGCAS members to post comments on topics raised. Comments will only be seen by other AGCAS members. If this facility is popular, it will be extended.
The site also offers many sponsorship and advertising opportunities. Graduate Prospects is the main sponsor, but there are lots of opportunities for other organisations to raise their profile with the site's users. Mark Nuttall, AGCAS's Marketing and Events Assistant, is the person to contact.
The site was developed by AGCAS Website and ICT Support Officer, Jingyu Qi with technical consultants, Transcendit, and design consultants, the B Group.
Email Gemma or Chris with any comments about the content and Qi if you have any technical problems, eg with registering and signing in or accessing any part.
