1
A real employer project, done online
Young people see how a job is actually done, then do the work themselves, from a classroom, a library or home.
2
Real tasks, turned into online experiences
Employers turn real work into online experiences. Your experts and your brand become interactive projects — the same tasks your teams really do, live in weeks, not months, at national scale.
3
Available to every young person
Educators put them in front of every student. Schools, colleges and universities deliver them to whole cohorts, with no travel and no logistics — plus our own audience of a million-plus young people and partners such as UCAS.
4
No cost to students
Students do the work, free. They complete real tasks and finish with something no CV can offer: evidence — skills shown, work completed, readiness signalled to employers.
5
And we follow where they end up
Destination outcomes feed straight back into how the next experience is built, so the loop closes and the next one starts stronger.
How Springpod works
1
A real employer project, done online
Students work on the same tasks the employer's teams really do and finish with a complete case study they can showcase to hiring teams.
2
Employers turn real work into a Micro Internship brief
We work with employers to create live briefs based on real business challenges, ready to run with your students.
3
Your careers and employability teams run them at cohort scale
Every student can take part, without limits, and each project adapts to the student's course and career direction.
4
Students deliver real work and keep the evidence
Every completion showcases the finished project, skills developed and outcome, all evidence for your employability story.
5
And we follow where they end up
Destination outcomes feed straight back into how our experiences are built.
In partnership with
What is a careers intelligence platform?
A place where young people don't just read about careers — they do real work, built by real employers. Every experience completed generates evidence: skills shown, tasks finished, readiness signalled. And because we follow what happens next, the platform learns which experiences actually lead somewhere.
Content in. Evidence out.
Outcomes tracked.

Wishes from the Future Makers
Real words from the youth panel shaping Springpod's platform and careers education more broadly.
I wish there was more support for young people to get into every field of work through an increase in both opportunities and awareness of opportunities.
I wish employers trusted young workers enough to give them opportunities to try more complex roles at work so they can develop a wider range of skills.
My wish is for employers to prioritise active outreach and engagement with young people on a large scale.
I wish employers would value potential as much as experience, and give young people clearer guidance on how to succeed. We all have the potential, we just need to know how to unlock it!
I wish there was less stigma on hiring under 18s for experience and part-time work.
I wish schools and universities offered more core modules focused on employability, so young people can develop practical skills they can actually use in the workplace.
