The platform utilizes the information about you to provide you better program recommendations. Your skills, interests, and public profiles is part of the data that is used. The platform also needs to know if you are available to participate in programs. This provides a better picture of the best way to match you - our researchers - to programs.
You are advised to set your availability in the platform for both the number of hours you intend to work every week, and for your time off. The more accurate your data, the better your program recommendations will be.
The unavailable period will be excluded from your time-based stats and help you remain competitive once you are available again.
