Internship Assignment
The right student in the right internship —
automatically.
An interactive allocation platform that matches students to internship spots based on preferences, capacity, distance, and institutional rules — giving coordinators full control over what weighs most.
The Challenge
Matching students to internships is hard — and Excel doesn't help.
Every semester, internship coordinators juggle hundreds of students, dozens of partner companies, and a web of constraints: student preferences, geographic distance, mentor capacity, sector requirements, and institutional rules that differ per programme.
Manual matching in spreadsheets takes days, produces mismatches, and makes it nearly impossible to explain to students why they ended up where they did. When something changes — a company drops out, a student switches track — the whole puzzle has to be rebuilt from scratch.
Days in spreadsheets
Coordinators spend a week on what should take an afternoon
Poor matches
Students placed far from home or outside their preferred sector
No transparency
Hard to explain to students why they got the placement they did
Fragile process
One company dropping out forces a full manual rebuild
The Approach
From student preferences to an optimal allocation — without the manual guesswork.
Student & Company Profiles
Students and partner companies each enter their preferences and constraints directly. No more coordinator acting as messenger between two spreadsheets.
Priority Weighting
You decide what weighs more: student preference, geographic distance, mentor availability, or sector requirements. The model respects your priorities — not the other way around.
Optimised Allocation
The engine finds the best-fit assignment across all students simultaneously, respecting capacity limits and hard constraints. Change a rule and the allocation re-optimises in seconds.
Outcomes
What an optimised internship platform delivers.
Under an hour, not days
What used to take a full working day now takes less than an hour
Better matches
Students placed where their preferences and sector fit align
Full transparency
Every decision is explainable — show students exactly why they were placed where
Resilient to change
A company drops out? Re-run the optimisation in seconds and you're done
