That's reasonable, i'll see what can be done. Got to discuss the interface with who ever will be building the database.

Cool, don't let yourself get ripped off by the person building the database. Shouldn't take too long (I would say max 1 day, but could be done in an hour or so with software such as phpMyAdmin). The UI on the other hand will take a good bit longer.

Yup thats what i ment

Also another idea for you is getting external email addresses off graduates and contacting them say every 6 months to find out where they are working and any oppertunities they know of. (like an alumni network)

I thought of this as on my DIT email in the last day ive been given inside info on jobs (some which havent been advertised yet). All these leads came direct from past pupils that were contacted by staff.

Now this wont help straight off but will in 3-5 years and the more that get jobs this way the more will be willing to help when they get a job.

Basically we will be creating our own "Old Boys Network" which maybe frowned upon but i know most employers like to employe their own.

And the only resources this would use up is a little Database time to keep it up to date and to formulate an email every 6months.
