Why participate in the Alumni Profiles Project?

Here is an opportunity to provide guidance and inspiration to UWI students who are about to or have recently graduated and are trying to find their first job.

By completing your Alumni Profile you will be sharing your perspectives on the benefits of your degree, the path you took after graduation and your professional journey to date. Your profile will form part of an online, searchable database of alumni profiles that will be accessible only to final year students and alumni in their first two years after graduation who visit a secure section of the Alumni Career Services website. Password access is required to view the Alumni Profiles database. Please only include content that you do not mind people viewing. Please ensure that the content that you submit is not inflammatory, racist, sexist, homophobic, abusive or likely to offend.

By answering all of the relevant questions below, you will help make your profile more interesting to our students and young alumni. Think about what will be most helpful for today’s students and young alumni. Try to draw on your positive experiences both at UWI and during your career but most importantly, be as honest and succinct as possible. Please note that we reserve the right to edit your profile once submitted to make sure that there are no text gaps. We estimate that it may take up to 15 minutes to complete the form.

Thank you for agreeing to share your story with us.
