globalbridge is a revolutionary digital learner profile platform built by teachers. It is designed to empower young people to showcase their full potential and skillset beyond traditional exam grades, connecting them with future career and education opportunities.

• Students/Young People: To create a digital learner profile that evidences their talents and personality.

• Educators/Schools: To holistically measure students' personal development.

• Employers: To engage with their future talent pool early in the education journey.

• Evidence beyond grades: Showcases a full, inclusive reflection of their skills, abilities, and personality, not just academic achievement.

• Connect with opportunities: Links directly with education providers and employers looking for diverse talent.

The platform provides educators with a holistic, quantitative assessment of students' personal development. This data can be used to inform school policies, guide interventions, and develop strategies.

• Engage early: Connect with their future workforce while students are still in the education system.

• Support goals: Aid their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives by ensuring a more diverse talent pipeline.

globalbridge is designed to complement these platforms by focusing on the student's Digital Learner Profile and Record of Achievement.

While careers platforms can provide comprehensive tools for career and course search, guidance, and in the case of UCAS managing a formal application process, globalbridge empowers students to gather and showcase rich, tangible evidence of their skills, extracurricular achievements, personal development, and most importantly their potential beyond grades.

The profile created on globalbridge serves as an enriched life long digital record of achievement that a student can share to stand out to employers and education providers, making it a powerful supplement to standard application or destination planning tools.

The most effective way to embed globalbridge is to make it a central part of your careers and personal development strategy:

• Evidence Careers Activities: Use features like 'Bulk Experience Upload' to track and evidence student engagement with careers events, work experience, and enrichment activities against frameworks like the Gatsby Benchmarks.

• Use in PSHE/Tutor Time: Dedicate regular time in PSHE or tutor sessions for students to update their profiles, reflect on achievements, and add multi-media evidence (photos, videos, reflections) of their skills.

• Link to Subject Learning: Encourage subject teachers to set small tasks where students use the platform to log skills developed during projects or classroom activities, making curriculum relevance visible.

• Support Transitions: Ensure students start building their profiles early (e.g., from Year 6/7 onwards) to provide a continuous, verifiable record of their progress as they transition between key stages (e.g., from Year 11 to Post-16).

• Quantify Impact: It offers a quantitative assessment of your personal development and careers offerings, allowing you to measure the impact and coverage across different year groups.

• Inform Strategy: The data helps identify areas of strength and weakness in student skill development, which can inform school policies, targeted interventions, and strategic planning.

• Simplify Accountability: By centralising evidence and tracking achievement, it reduces administrative workload and simplifies the process of gathering evidence for accountability discussions (e.g., Ofsted).
