Complete an internship well
Strong final evaluations against the published rubric are the primary route in — with your consent recorded before anything is shared.
Builds with the first completing cohorts
Thrive Launchpad · talent pool
The talent pool: where verified skill meets real hiring.
Not a CV database — a record of assessed skills, mentor evaluations and project evidence, entered only by earning it. It fills as the first internship cohorts complete, and only with each member’s consent.
How entry works
Three doors in. All of them assessed.
Exceptional gate performance
Occasionally the skills gate reveals someone already operating at pool level. Rare, verified, possible.
Proven work through Thrive programmes
Capstones, FYP evidence and Innovation Lab work can contribute to a verified profile — with ownership labels intact.
For employers
Hire juniors who arrive with evidence.
Every pool member carries a verified skills summary, internship evaluation history and reviewed project evidence — so your interview starts from proof, not claims.
Employers can interview pool members, sponsor internship seats, or commission a discovery sprint that doubles as a working trial. Start with the partnership page.
What a pool profile contains
- Assessed skills summary by track
- Internship rubric scores and mentor evaluation
- Project evidence with ownership labels
- Attendance and reliability record
- Consent-based contact route
Why the pool is empty at launch
Because nobody has earned entry yet — and pre-filling it with unverified names would destroy the only thing that makes it valuable. The pool grows as cohorts complete, and every entry is consented, assessed and honest. That is the product.
