Salary benchmarks
Our take
Life after compulsory education can be daunting, especially when you're young and not sure what you want to do. Deciding whether you should take a gap year, apply for University or take on an apprenticeship amongst many different other routes can be overwhelming.
Unifrog have created a platform which acts as a one-stop-shop for students to compare apprenticeships, school leaver programmes, and further education courses in the UK. Once a student has decided on a pathway, Unifrog makes it easy to record their activities and competencies as well as create and send applications
The main factor driving success for Unifrog is its simplicity. Everything can be streamlined in one place making it easy for students research, apply and track their applications. The ability for teachers to have access and provide references and manage students progress is also a big bonus.
Ultimately Unifrog works to empower students to make the right decisions for them. Over 2000 schools have already signed up, with 98.5% saying they would recommend the service to other schools. They are proving to be a real game changer in the space with no signs of slowing down after expansion across Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
