Work placement services are moving into an advanced new age from 2022 - with automation technology revolutionising how employment portals match students with businesses. 

Thanks to the transformative power of AI, the next generation of placement platforms are helping students to make smarter choices when it comes to finding vital experience at suitable companies. 

Workscan is among the first examples of these ‘smart’ portals - drawing on student’s skills, grades and hobbies to serve up improved employment opportunities that match with their ability and personality. The platform can even tell the student what the chances are of getting into a particular placement. 

Workscan is capable of conducting background checks on businesses providing an assurance that companies are genuine firms and that have passed compliance checks. 

The integration of AI features extends reach for students and companies alike, with more types of appealing placements available for students and a richer base of ideal candidates to pick from for employers. 

Workscan launches in early 2022. Employers, businesses and students can sign up to a waiting list with priority access when the platform opens for business. Register online and learn more about the Workscan platform
