Highlight features

AI based match compatibility scores

When submitting match requests for projects and experiences, educators and employers will now be able to check the compatibility of their projects and experiences with our new AI drive compatibility scores.

  • Know if the match is a good fit before even submitting the request
  • Quickly determine compatibility and use it as guiding criteria when evaluating incoming match requests

Date change requests

Teams and employers who have set dates for their projects are now able to submit a date change request to the other party if they need to move keys dates in their timeline such as changing the end date.

Team states

Explicit team states have been added and are displayed throughout the platform. These states more easily show if a team is currently active and completing a project, inactive, incomplete from missing deadlines and more.

Observers

Experience administrators can now add observers to their experience and assign them to particular teams which will grant them read-only access to those teams and their data.

  • Easily keep tabs on a large number of teams by assigning observers to each one
