Why this matters

A generation graduating without the skills, confidence or connections to secure relevant employment

Data literacy and analysis icon

Most models only work for your most connected or available students, which isn't solving the access problem they're meant to

Employability outcomes are under more scrutiny than ever before

Your problems and how we solve them

Employability provision that doesn't reach every student
Optional careers activities that students don't actually use
Widening access and participation commitments
Proving graduate outcomes and employability impact

Springpod solutions, picked for you

Micro Internships

A virtual internship built around a real business challenge, either from Springpod's marketplace of live client projects or exclusive briefs from your own employer partners.

  • Mirrors a genuine work environment
  • AI-powered kick off calls and check-ins with virtual team members

A client-style simulation to present their work. It's a safe space to build real employability skills: communication, initiative, handling feedback, before any of it counts for real. Springpod builds all the content, so it takes minimal resource from your team while giving every student a genuine project for their CV.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from university careers and employability teams.
Can we use our own employer partners instead of Springpod's marketplace?
Yes. You can choose to have students select from Springpod's marketplace of live client projects, or engage your own employer partners to list exclusive challenges just for your students.
Does this replace our existing careers support?
No, it extends it. Micro Internships sit alongside your existing offer, giving every student access to something meaningful without adding pressure to your team.
How do you measure impact for our reporting?
Every programme comes with completion data, satisfaction scores (NPS and average ratings) and skills development metrics, ready to feed into internal reporting, access and participation plan evidence, or league table submissions.
