This project ran from 2001-2 so it's pretty old but it produced some great resources and it would be a pity not to make them available for recycling! It involved six university careers working with large and small companies on recruitment, mentoring and placements. A major conference was held in Leicester and a website launched containing all the resources. I project managed MERITS on behalf of the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services - working with a great team - David Ross wrote much of the website, Chris Winson did the amazing designs and all the hard creative work was done by colleagues from the universities of Loughborough, Central England, Manchester and UMIST, Brunel, Manchester Metropolitan and Southampton
