"How do I use my SOAR?"
You'll receive a record of your time spent in the activity to use when you're applying for jobs or opportunities. Employers want to hire new graduates who have experience, using SOAR is a great way to stand out during the hiring process.
You can use SOAR when you are:
Applying for jobs

"What are the timelines for making a request? How do I add to my SOAR?"
We encourage students to apply to have their activity included on their record as soon as they complete the activity, usually within two weeks.
