how it works

Build a diverse talent pipeline

Our student community is diverse, talented and eager to engage with employers.

We work with our partners employers to build an ideal profile for their student cohort based on key education, demographic and engagement data points.

We use educational and entertaining content to engage students who otherwise would be unaware of our partner’s carer paths and opportunities.

Attract higher quality applicants

Virtual Work Experience allows students to learn about your organisation’s values, the structure and function of the different teams and to understand what career paths are available to them. You can even cover what’s involved in your application processes.

This means you have applicants who are set up for success and you allow talented students who otherwise may have been disadvantaged to show what they’re capable of.

Increase your retention

Virtual Work Experience allows students to see what a role really involves and to even try some of the activities and assignments for themselves.

This gives students an accurate understanding of the role and means that when they’re eventually hired they’ll be much more likely to thrive in their new role.
