Teacher and nursing students preparing for VFU

Before VFU

From the placement queue to the first day at the host organisation. The student gets a VFU placement matching the degree objectives, the host gets a supervised student and the course coordinator has full oversight of the cohort.

Everything that needs
to happen before VFU
at the university

Coordinating VFU placements with regions, municipalities and partner schools takes time. Matching degree objectives, courses and licensed supervisors takes even more. We bring the entire process into one platform, so the VFU coordinator, course leader and student can focus on what creates real quality in education.

All features for host organisations

Step 1

Register VFU place

Create a placement registration with practice area, profession and term. Visible to the university's VFU coordinator in the region.

Step 2

Assign supervisor

AI suggests students based on the course learning objectives. Assign a licensed VFU supervisor and book the introduction meeting in the platform.

Step 3

Sign placement agreement

Digital VFU agreement with OTP-protected signing. University, host and student sign in the platform and the agreement is linked to the course.

Student Search

Find the right student
for your organisation

With student search, the host browses profiles filtered by program, term, course and language. View interests, previous placements and invite students who fit the organisation.

AI filtering automatically ranks students based on course learning objectives and the placement requirements. Less administration for the VFU coordinator and better matches for the supervisor.

The VFU coordinator and course leader see signing status in real time. No scanned papers, no back-and-forth emails. The agreement is archived automatically and accessible to university and host throughout the VFU period.
