More UK universities are extending careers-services access to alumni in their 40s and 50s, institutional leaders report, as older graduates increasingly seek midcareer transitions. Career centers that once focused on recent graduates are now providing CV review, interview coaching and sector‑switch guidance to alumni decades into their careers. University officials say lifelong career support helps alumni remain attached to institutions and creates new engagement revenue streams. The move also reflects demographic shifts and longer working lives: institutions are positioning themselves as recurring talent partners rather than one‑time credential providers. Career-services directors caution that scaling lifelong services requires investment in staff, digital platforms and employer relations to match older alumni’s needs for senior‑level placements and retraining.
