Problem
Students often graduate without paid, real‑world project experience, limiting their employability. Companies face high recruitment overhead and difficulty accessing emerging talent that is already familiar with practical business problems. Tertiary institutions lack a scalable mechanism to embed work‑integrated learning (WIL) into curricula without extensive administrative effort.
Solution
Alumly operates an earn‑while‑you‑learn platform that links students, companies, and tertiary institutions in a single marketplace. Students apply to solve authentic business challenges, receive compensation, and earn verified skill credentials. Companies post short‑term projects or micro‑tasks and receive work from pre‑qualified, academically vetted candidates, reducing time‑to‑hire and onboarding costs. Institutions integrate these projects into course structures, gaining analytics on student outcomes and the ability to scale WIL without additional faculty resources. All interactions are managed through a cloud‑native SaaS environment that handles project matching, secure payments, and progress tracking.
Target Audience
Primary users are university and college students seeking paid, project‑based experience; companies of all sizes that need flexible, talent‑on‑demand for short‑term initiatives; and tertiary institutions aiming to embed scalable, outcome‑focused work‑integrated learning into their programs.
