This doesn't grade you. It proves you showed up.
The gap

A diploma tells you what a student studied. It doesn't say what they've done.

The old record

Grades, credits, a graduation date. Nothing that shows an employer how a student actually works with people, tools, or pressure.

The Pupil record

Real hours, at a real workplace, verified by a real supervisor — sitting alongside the diploma, not instead of it.

How it works

One path, from curious to hired.

Four steps for a student — no repeated applications, no guessing what a role actually involves.

01 — Discover

Browse real openings

Apprenticeships, internships, shadow days, volunteer roles, and projects from employers near you.

02 — Apply

One profile, sent anywhere

Build your story once. Send it to as many opportunities as you want, without starting over each time.

03 — Show up

Do the actual work

Learn the trade, shadow the role, finish the project — with a mentor who expects you to ask questions.

04 — Graduate

Leave with proof

Every verified hour lands on your transcript — something no report card could show on its own.

Opportunity types

Five ways to find out what fits.

Not every student wants a summer job. Some want two days on a job site before they choose a major.

Apprenticeships

Paid, structured training in a skilled trade, with a real mentor and a clear path to certification.

Internships

Short-term roles inside a real team, working on real deliverables — not fetching coffee.

Job shadowing

A day or two beside someone doing the job you're curious about, before you commit to studying it.

Volunteer roles

Give real hours to a cause you care about, and get credit for the effort, not just the intention.

Hands-on projects

Build something for a real employer — a campaign, a prototype, a repair — start to finish.

For employers

Build your next generation of talent, on your terms.

Meet students before they're job-hunting — while they're still figuring out what they're good at. Set the hours, the mentor, and the expectations.

  • Post an apprenticeship, internship, shadow day, or project in minutes.
  • Review applicants with one consistent profile, not five different formats.
  • Verify hours directly, so the transcript reflects work you actually oversaw.

Stories

What students found out by actually doing it.

"Two days shadowing a vet tech and I knew nursing wasn't for me. Better to learn that at 16 than in year one of a program."

Mara — job shadow, veterinary clinic

"My apprenticeship hours counted for something real. I walked into my first interview with a transcript, not just a resume."

Devon — apprenticeship, electrical trades

"I built a real feature for a real team as an intern. I stopped guessing whether I'd like the work and started knowing."

Priya — internship, product design

Every student should graduate with more than a diploma.
