Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does SkillBridge cost?

During the pilot the platform is free for students, institutions and employers.

Who can see my grades?

Only verified employers, and only if you've turned on profile visibility. You can hide your profile at any time and see who viewed it.

How does an institution upload students?

The career centre downloads the Excel template, fills in the list and grades, and uploads the file. Students receive an email with a link to activate their profile.

Can a contract be signed online?

Yes. A practicum agreement or employment contract is generated from a template, the parties confirm it in their dashboards, and a PDF is available for download. Signing with a digital signature (NCALayer) is coming next.

Does the platform work for colleges?

Yes. SkillBridge supports both universities (GPA 4.0) and colleges (5-point scale), and employers can search across both.
