The problem

A degree is no longer enough

Students who know, companies that need, and universities that connect. The problem isn't the talent — it's that no one can see it.

Students

73%

of graduates cannot demonstrate concrete skills beyond their degree when looking for their first job.

Companies

68%

of companies in Latin America confirm that new graduates aren't ready to take on real projects from day one.

Universities

Blind spot

Institutions train talent with no visibility into which skills the market valued or how their graduates actually performed.

JobPlace Challenges™

Real challenges. Visible talent. Certification that counts.

Companies propose a real problem. Students solve it. The university and the company certify it together. That's how the first dual-signature badge in Latin America is born.

01

The company posts a challenge

A real business problem open to students from any connected university. The company defines the context, deliverables and skills it wants to discover.

02

Interdisciplinary teams solve it

Students from different degree programs and universities apply and collaborate. The platform forms teams based on profile, skills and availability.

03

Company and university co-certify

The company evaluates the deliverable. The university endorses it academically. The student receives a verifiable Digital Badge on their profile — real evidence of what they can do.

Who it's for

Universities, companies and students. Triple impact.

JobPlace Challenges connects the three actors of the labor market around the same challenge. Value flows in every direction.
