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 does not 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 are done
