The Employability Platform Built for All

With evidence-based profiles and employer engagement.

Help young people showcase their skills and potential through real evidence. Connect career seekers, educators, employers and support organisations in one place.

The employability ecosystem

Each audience gets what it needs from the same evidence — and everyone gains from the others being there.

How it works

Three steps from evidence to opportunity

  1. Step 1: Build a profile

    Sign up on the web or the app and start a profile that shows who you are, not just your grades.

  2. Step 2: Add evidence

    Upload video, photos and documents of real things you have done, and tag each one with the skills it proves.

  3. Step 3: Connect with opportunities

    Browse work experience, apprenticeships and jobs, and engage with organisations through safeguarded messaging.

Inside the platform

See what each person sees

A career seeker profile on Startingpoint, with About Me and the Employability Passport
Career seeker view

A profile that shows the whole person

Skills, experience, interests and a short video introduction in one place, so a young person can be seen for more than their grades.

Employability Passport

Everything you have done, in one place

A CV of grades does not show what a person can actually do. The Employability Passport collects the evidence behind each skill, so a profile shows growth over time and can be exported as a PDF for any application.

  • Skills evidenced by real work, not self-assessment
  • A passport that travels with the young person
  • Export to PDF for higher education and work applications
