Occumi

Helping students to identify, understand and articulate their transferable skills regardless of their background. Every student develops a variety of transferable skills from their educational qualifications and work experience - however many are unable to identify or articulate these skills, nor do they realise how important they are to employers. Often students from disadvantaged backgrounds do not have a level of social capital that gives them the opportunity to develop an understanding about the importance of transferable skills within the recruitment process - meaning they are less likely to be able to promote themselves to employers. Occumi is an online tool that identifies a student’s transferable skills based on their educational qualifications and work experience. Our platform is based on an algorithm that uses over 1,600 data points form sources such as employers, academics and course outlines to identify an individuals skills. Find out more ar
