For students

Your experience is already taking shape.

Bring coursework, projects and part-time work into focus before your next placement, internship or graduate application.

Creating an SPP account is free. Your account shows your current access and Credits.

Keep the evidence while it is fresh

You do not need a long employment history to start preparing. Record the problem a project addressed, what you personally did and the result. Keep a note of feedback or a work sample you are allowed to share.

Build around the opportunity

A placement, internship and part-time role may ask for different evidence. Compare the actual requirements with your CV. Choose examples that help explain your fit rather than sending the same material everywhere.

Make preparation fit around study

Choose a manageable next action: improve one CV section, read a promising advert or practise one answer. A saved career plan helps you return to the task without rebuilding the context.

Use support that is already around you

SPP can sit alongside your university careers service, tutors and other trusted support. Ask a person for feedback where judgement or local knowledge would help. No university partnership is implied.

A useful place to start

  1. Collect evidence from a recent project.
  2. Choose a small set of roles to explore.
  3. Prepare and review one focused application.

Your next chapter

You do not need every answer. Just a clearer next step.
