Nearly one million UK 16 - 24-year-olds are currently not in education, employment, or training, with many job applicants rejected by systems before a human ever sees their application.
CVSuite.ai aims to tackle part of the problem by helping students improve their own applications rather than simply generating generic AI-written content.
The platform helps students understand how to match their experience to individual opportunities, while careers teams can use live data to identify where students are being screened out and where additional support is needed.
How It Began
For Isaac, the idea began after experiencing the challenges of applying for jobs himself. In the last year he applied for around 100 applications but was getting nowhere. He used his computer science knowledge to design and streamline a system to tailor his applications quickly, which was time consuming but worked. He got multiple offers and friends started asking him for help.
The National Final
Isaac and Eila will now take their innovation to the Champion of Champions event at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London in November. The competition is sponsored by the business education charity ESBF, Engineers and Scientists in Business Fellowship. The UK is world renowned for its innovation, yet our scientists and engineers often struggle when it comes to turning these ideas into financially viable companies in the UK, generating jobs and contributing to economic growth in their home country. ESBF aims to give Britain's engineers and scientists the business education skills to turn their ideas into successful businesses. The November event will see ten student teams from universities across the UK receive expert coaching from ESBF's Sainsbury Management Fellows community and pitch their innovations in a live final for a share of £16,500 prize money and business mentoring.
