Learn How Every Student Is Doing with Engagement View

Denny Fernando / August 27, 2026

Understanding how a student is engaging with a platform is often harder than it should be. Activity is spread across different areas, and administrators are left piecing together a picture from scattered signals or relying on gut feel about who is active and who has gone quiet.

The result is that students who are disengaging can go unnoticed until it is too late to intervene. Without a clear, consolidated measure of engagement, career and administrative teams have no reliable way to spot who needs attention and to act early.

Simplify Placements with the Internship Placement Form Flow

Denny Fernando / August 20, 2026

When a student accepts an internship offer, the placement still needs to be recorded and verified before it counts. In many institutions this happens through scattered emails, manual forms, or spreadsheets, which creates gaps in the record and extra administrative work.

The challenge is greater when placements are tied to specific internship programmes. Each programme may carry its own requirements and sit under a particular faculty, yet without a structured flow there is no reliable way to capture that information at the point of placement or to confirm it has been reviewed.

Multi-Level Approval & Filter Jobs by Skillsets and Internship Programme

Denny Fernando / August 20, 2026

Managing internship opportunities at scale creates two persistent challenges for higher education institutions.

On the administrative side, internship postings often need sign-off from more than one person before they go live, whether that is a career centre lead, a faculty coordinator, or a compliance check. Without a structured approval path, this happens over email and spreadsheets, which slows things down and makes it hard to keep quality consistent.

On the student side, browsing a long list of internships is inefficient. Students struggle to identify which opportunities actually match their skills and their course of study, so they either apply broadly without focus or miss roles that would have been a strong fit.

Ready in Every Detail wth the General Checklist

Denny Fernando / July 30, 2026

Institutions often require students to complete specific tasks before accessing internships, programmes, events, or other opportunities. Managing these requirements manually can be challenging, particularly at scale.

To address this, we have introduced General Checklist — a feature that helps institutions create structured completion pathways and guide students through important requirements before progressing to the next stage of their journey.

Internship Programme Clustering

Denny Fernando / July 30, 2026

Universities often manage internship opportunities across multiple faculties, programmes, and disciplines. While providing broad access to opportunities is important, it can also create confusion when students are presented with internships that may not align with their academic background.

To address this challenge, we have introduced Internship Programme Clustering — a new feature designed to help universities manage internship access more effectively and ensure students are matched with opportunities relevant to their study programmes.

This enhancement creates a more structured, personalised, and scalable internship experience for both students and administrators.

A Holistic Approach with the New Profile View

Denny Fernando / February 24, 2026

Standard resumes often fail to capture the full narrative of a student’s potential. A traditional CV is a static snapshot, a list of grades and dates that rarely captures the breadth of a student’s capabilities or their unique personal circumstances. For career centres and employers, this lack of context makes it difficult to provide personalised support or make accurate hiring decisions.

We have completely overhauled the user experience with the New Profile View to address this limitation. This is not merely a visual refresh, it is a structural upgrade designed to present a comprehensive, holistic story of the student’s professional journey.

Smarter Career Decisions with New Company Comparison

Denny Fernando / February 10, 2026

Decision paralysis is a genuine challenge for university students approaching graduation. Because the job market is confusing and there are so many employers, students usually just apply to famous companies. While these multinational organisations offer excellent opportunities, they represent only a fraction of the available market. As a result, many students miss good companies that are less well known, even though they may offer a better culture, faster growth, or stronger mentoring.

To bridge this information gap and facilitate smarter decision-making, we are delighted to introduce the Company Comparison feature. This product update makes research easier and helps students look past basic facts so they can compare employers in a deeper and more thoughtful way.

Transparent University Job Boards with Salary Rate Setup

Denny Fernando / January 13, 2026

Transparency is the cornerstone of trust in the recruitment process, yet compensation remains a significant taboo for many graduates. This lack of clarity often leads to unrealistic expectations, poor negotiation leverage, and a general disconnect between academic preparation and market reality. When students start working without understanding money matters, they may take low-paying jobs. They might also turn down good offers because of misunderstandings.

Better data inevitably leads to better insights. We are happy to share a significant product update focused on financial transparency through the Salary Rate Setup. This new feature lets users see and track salary rates on the job board. It helps administrators, employers, and students.
