Your skills. Suitable work. Shared responsibility.

WorkBridge shows how public employment support could recognise what people can do, match them with work that fits their lives — and make the service’s own commitments as visible as the jobseeker’s.

“Where people are expected to take steps towards employment, the employment service should make clear commitments to help — and account for delivering them.”

Three minutes

A guided route through the proposal

Seven short stops. A bar at the bottom of the screen explains each one; leave it at any time.

  1. Read why each vacancy was matched — and why some were not.
  2. Change a preference and watch matches regroup.
  3. See both sides’ commitments, including overdue service actions.
  4. As an adviser, record an introduction that the jobseeker then sees.
  5. As an employer, post a vacancy and request an introduction.
  6. View outcomes that measure suitable, sustained work.
  7. Read and print the pilot proposal.
What the prototype demonstrates

Digital infrastructure that supports people and advisers, rather than replacing judgement

Understand capability

Skills are recorded with their evidence: self-reported, supported by a portfolio example, or awaiting assessment — including skills built outside paid work.

Match to real circumstances

Travel, hours, school runs, working arrangements and adjustments are checked first. Missing information prompts a question, never a rejection.

Help advisers act

Introductions, interviews and relevant training are a click away, with the reason recorded for everyone to see.

Commitments on both sides

Every action has an owner, a due date, a status and evidence. Unsuitable actions can be revised with an explanation.

Measure suitable, sustained work

Success is relevant introductions, delivered commitments and work that lasts — not simply leaving benefits.

Human decisions throughout

Matching informs conversations. It does not decide benefit entitlement or sanctions, and never uses protected characteristics.
