Is ilearn4u free for students and parents?+

Yes — the Student Portal and Parent Portal are completely free, always. Schools pay a monthly subscription, and businesses/universities pay per opportunity listing, so students never see a cost to use the platform.

Can students message businesses or universities directly?+

No, by design. All coordination about a placement goes through the student's school counsellor — students apply through ilearn4u, and once an organisation responds, the school counsellor handles the next steps and any direct communication with the organisation.

How does ilearn4u match students to opportunities?+

A student's profile — age, location, career goals, interests, education level and preferred opportunity type — is matched against open listings from businesses, universities and training providers, so students see relevant internships, apprenticeships, traineeships and headstart programs rather than a generic job board.

What can a school do with the School Portal?+

Schools track every student's applications in one dashboard, see status updates the moment an organisation responds, and manage all school-to-organisation communication about placements, interviews, start dates and documentation from a single inbox.

How much does it cost businesses and universities to list an opportunity?+

$14.99 AUD per active opportunity slot — for example, 5 simultaneous active listings costs $74.95 AUD. There's no separate setup fee; you only pay for the listings you currently have live.

Is student data kept private and secure?+

Yes. Student profile data is only ever visible to the student themselves, their linked parent, and their own school. Businesses and universities only ever see what a student submits in a specific application to their own opportunity — never a full student profile — and every database table is protected by Row Level Security.
