Ireland first.
Europe next.
89,000 graduates a year. 34 universities. A government demanding proof of outcomes. Ireland is where we're building the model — before scaling across Europe.
🇮🇪 The Irish Graduate Challenge
Irish universities produce world-class graduates. But the system that connects them to employers is still built on PDFs, job boards, and annual surveys that arrive too late to act on.
The Challenge
- Youth graduate unemployment 10.8%
- Employers reporting skills gaps 82%
- Annual graduates entering the market ~89,000
- Universities under outcome pressure 34
What We're Building Towards
- Target employment rate 89%
- Faster time to hire -22 days
- Graduate salary uplift +€4,500/yr
- University ROI 6:1

A European Problem, Starting in Ireland
Ireland isn't unique — it's a microcosm of the challenges facing every EU member state.
EU Youth Unemployment
Youth unemployment across Europe remains stubbornly high. Universities are increasingly judged on what happens after graduation.
Employers Report Skills Gaps
The majority of employers say graduates aren't job-ready. CVs and transcripts don't tell them what a graduate can actually do.
Data Arrives Too Late
Graduate outcome data typically lags by a year or more. By the time you see the problem, another cohort has graduated into it.
Not Just Graduates — Apprentices Too
Ireland needs 10,000 new apprentice registrations per year. The same platform we're building for graduates will work for apprentices — designed to give SOLAS and ETBs real-time data on completions, placements, and outcomes.
- Verified credentials for every apprenticeship phase
- Better matching between apprentices and employer placements
- Real-time completion and employment tracking
- Bridges further education and higher education pathways

Irish university?
Let's talk.
We're looking for our first university partners in Ireland. If graduate outcomes matter to you, we'd love to show you what we're building.
