DESCRIPTION

This RFP seeks a vendor to provide a comprehensive work-based learning (WBL) platform designed to track participation and progression across WBL programs. The platform should offer features that support student autonomy and help identify skill or credential gaps, while facilitating communication and feedback between students, supervisors, mentors, and program administrators.

Key requirements include automating hiring and onboarding processes, tracking skill development, managing compliance, and engaging students as they participate in WBL opportunities. The system should be capable of verifying and signing off on WBL hours, managing and updating career readiness resources, and monitoring student career development and work-readiness. Additional functionalities should include user role management with role-based permissions, scalability across multiple programs and departments, support for digital acknowledgements or signature workflows, and robust student time tracking verified by employers and staff.

The platform must comply with relevant accessibility standards, data privacy, and security requirements, maintain data integrity, and prevent duplicate records. Configuration should allow adaptability for evolving WBL models within the institution.
