Eduvocation scales up thanks to CityLABS collaboration.
The CityLABS technical support team led by Dr Enrico Daga contributed to the development of a geospatial navigation of job adverts, released on October 2018. After that, the user based increased significantly, 10 times as much in applications, 5 times as much in users.
Eduvocation reported a growth of the business 10 times in 1 year since its engagement with CityLABS. As additional effect, the coverage of the business has been increased! Target area expanded from Bedfordshire to including Milton Keynes and North Hertfordshire.
Wayne Cartmel, founder and leader of Eduvocation: “Without the geospatial functionalities we would not be able to expand in this way. We could not have reached this achievement without CityLABS”
The collaboration with CityLABS is going on and new functionalities to be announced in the near future! The team involved includes researchers and developers from the ISDS group of the Knowledge Media Institute: Enrico Daga, Jason Carvalho, and Francesco Osborne.
