The
Complete Work Experience Suite
The Complete Work Experience Suite (WES) is more than a platform. It is a complete work experience system built for schools, colleges and local authorities that want to deliver modern, meaningful placements without the stress.
Designed around the updated Gatsby Benchmarks and Ofsted expectations, WES helps you meet every requirement with confidence, from risk management and employer engagement to inclusive access and impact tracking.
It replaces paperwork and guesswork with smart tools, clear workflows and real-time oversight. Everything you need to organise placements, manage compliance and support students is in one place.
Whether you’re supporting 30 students or 300, WES makes it easy to deliver work experience that is relevant, inclusive and genuinely prepares young people for their next steps.
This is modern work experience, done properly.
Student Portal
& App Access
The Complete WES includes an intuitive student portal, giving students full control of their work placement journey. From browsing available placements and submitting self-placement forms to creating and editing their CVs, students can manage all placement aspects directly from their mobile phones or desktops. This empowers students to take ownership of their work experience, allowing them to build employability skills while ensuring all tasks are tracked and completed.
Employer Portal
The employer portal ensures a smooth and seamless experience for employers. They can manage their placement details, track applications, submit risk assessments, and provide feedback on student performance. The portal helps build stronger relationships with employers, streamlining communication and allowing them to manage placements independently without the constant need for communication with administrators. This improves engagement and satisfaction for employers, ultimately leading to better student placement opportunities.
Risk Management
Safety and compliance are crucial in any work placement. WES simplifies risk management by providing automated tools that allow teachers to create, distribute, and track health and safety risk assessments. Pre-designed templates tailored to specific industries ensure that placements meet safety standards with minimal manual input. Real-time compliance tracking gives teachers the confidence that all placements meet regulatory requirements. This reduces administrative burden while ensuring students are always placed in a safe and compliant environment.
Placement Creation & Tracking
Creating and assigning placements has never been easier. With WES, teachers can match students to placements that suit their skills and interests. Real-time tracking allows for constant monitoring of student progress and placement outcomes, enabling teachers to address any issues and improve the programme’s quality quickly. This feature optimises placements by ensuring the right fit between students and employers, enhancing learning opportunities for all.
Attendance Tracking
& Reporting
Tracking student attendance during placements is effortless with WES. Whether using manual entry or automated tracking, WES captures every detail, ensuring students meet the required hours for their placements. Detailed reports on attendance, placement status, and student progress help teachers stay on top of programme requirements. This functionality increases accuracy and ensures that compliance with educational standards is met with minimal effort.
Gatsby Benchmark Reporting
WES aligns with the Gatsby Benchmarks for career guidance, enabling schools and colleges to demonstrate compliance with national standards. The platform automatically tracks adherence to all eight Gatsby Benchmarks, providing teachers with the necessary tools to evaluate and improve their career guidance strategies. With real-time reporting, WES ensures that career programmes are continuously optimised and compliant with the latest educational guidelines.
