Industry placements shouldn't stall on paperwork, emails and compliance gaps. Ditch the spreadsheets, lost forms and manual ASQA-chasing.

CareerHive replaces every paper training plan, email chain and compliance spreadsheet with one platform built for RTOs and TAFE. Whether you're running a Certificate III with 50 students or a Diploma program with 400 learners across multiple campuses, CareerHive manages every stakeholder, every competency unit and every ASQA requirement automatically.

Matching & competency tracking

Match every candidate to the right host — then track every unit to completion.

CareerHive auto-matches students to approved host employers by qualification, location and industry sector — then maps every placement activity to the relevant units of competency in your Training Package, so assessment evidence builds itself. Select a capability to see it.

Intelligent host employer matching
01

CareerHive matches each learner to available host employers by qualification code, industry sector and proximity — surfacing the best-fit placements instantly. RTO staff review and confirm with one click.

Digital training plans & agreements
02

Training plans are created from your qualification template and sent digitally to the student and employer for signing. Signed copies are stored automatically against the student record — no paper, no manual filing.

Unit of competency mapping
03

Every placement task and logbook entry maps automatically to the relevant units of competency in your Training Package. Evidence accumulates passively — by the time a student finishes, most of the portfolio is already built.

Trainer visit scheduling & site records
04

Trainer site visits are scheduled and tracked in CareerHive. Visit notes, observation records and verbal questioning evidence are captured on-site — instantly linked to the relevant student, unit and placement.

Evidence that assembles itself

Logbook entries, supervisor sign-offs, trainer observations and verbal questioning all land against the unit they evidence. Nothing is transcribed twice, and nothing is missing at assessment time.

Assessment & compliance workflows

Automated 4-party workflows — so nothing falls through the cracks.

CareerHive coordinates the student, host employer supervisor, trainer-assessor and RTO admin in a single connected workflow — with every approval, assessment and compliance record captured automatically and stored against the student for ASQA audits.

[1]
4-party digital workflows

Student completes the daily logbook, supervisor signs off, trainer reviews evidence, admin monitors compliance — every step triggers the next automatically. No chasing, no gaps, no missed approvals.

[2]
Third-party supervisor assessment forms

Supervisors complete digital third-party assessment forms per unit of competency — with performance criteria pre-loaded from the Training Package. Evidence is captured, signed and stored automatically.

[3]
Pre-placement compliance clearance

Every placement starts only after CareerHive verifies all requirements — Working with Children Check, police clearance, immunisation records, employer insurance and site WHS risk assessment.

[4]
AVETMISS reporting & audit packs

Placement hours, unit outcomes and attendance feed your AVETMISS export automatically. When ASQA comes knocking, every evidence portfolio, signed agreement, visit record and assessment decision exports in minutes.

Developed in consultation with placement coordinators at Australian RTOs and TAFE

ASQA compliance

Built for the ASQA Standards for RTOs 2015.

CareerHive is designed to help RTOs and TAFE meet their obligations under the ASQA Standards — with audit-ready documentation generated automatically at every step.

Training & Assessment Strategy

Every placement is automatically documented against your TAS — hours, units, supervisor details and assessment evidence captured and stored against the qualification and student record.

Pre-Placement Risk Management

Site risk assessments, employer insurance verification and student compliance checks are managed in CareerHive — placement cannot commence until all items are cleared.

AVETMISS & Audit Reporting

Placement hours and unit outcomes feed directly into your AVETMISS export. When ASQA requests evidence, audit packs are generated per student — pulling together every signed document, assessment and visit record automatically.

Student evidence packs on demand

Evidence portfolio

Learners finish with the evidence already assembled.

Most RTOs reconstruct evidence portfolios after placement ends. CareerHive captures each logbook entry, supervisor sign-off and trainer observation against the unit it evidences — so the portfolio is complete on the last day, not weeks later.

Evidence 01
Daily logbook & hours

Every shift logged by the student and countersigned by the workplace supervisor — mapped to the units the tasks evidence.

Hours verified400 / 400
Evidence 02
Third-party assessments

Supervisor judgements against pre-loaded performance criteria, signed digitally and filed against the unit — no paper forms in transit.

Audit pack, on demand

Signed training plan, agreements, assessments and visit records collate into a per-student pack — exportable in minutes when ASQA asks.

Analytics & reporting

Real-time visibility across every learner, placement and qualification.

Your placement coordinators get a live command-centre view — from individual student competency progress to whole-cohort completion rates and employer performance. No more manual spreadsheets at end of term.

Cohort placement dashboard

See every student's status in real time — matched, pending compliance, on-placement, trainer visit due or completed. Filter by qualification, campus or trainer.

Unit completion tracking

Track which students have sufficient evidence for each unit — and which units need more placement time or supervisor attention. Spot gaps before the assessment deadline.

Employer performance & capacity

Monitor host employer slot availability, historical placement success rates and supervisor assessment quality — so you know which employers to prioritise and which need a conversation.

Scheduled reports for management

Build reports for the CEO, compliance manager and campus leads, then schedule automatic delivery — so the data arrives without anyone asking for it.

Integrations

Connects with your existing RTO and TAFE systems.

CareerHive integrates with the student management and LMS tools your team already uses — so placement data flows automatically, with no double-entry.

Live SMS sync

Enrolments, cohort changes and unit outcomes flow between your student management system and CareerHive automatically. No CSV exports, no reconciliation, no duplicate entry.

Training Package data

Units of competency and qualification structures pull from training.gov.au, so mapping stays current when a Training Package is updated or superseded.

Open API

A documented RESTful API means any system your RTO runs — bespoke, legacy or off-the-shelf — can connect. Webhooks, OAuth 2.0 and a developer sandbox included as standard.
