Every student gets a career plan. You see the whole cohort.
Each student gets a plan and a CV that grows as they learn. Your career centre sees the whole cohort.

See what your whole cohort needs to learn
The cohort dashboard rolls every student's gap analysis into one view: which skills are missing, for which roles, across the cohort.

Example figures, not a real cohort.
- Skill-gap distribution aggregated across your cohort, filterable by team
- Engagement per student, so advisors know who to chase
- Exportable reports you can put in front of leadership
Skill data covers 1,000+ occupations, drawn from O*NET and live job postings.
The load career services teams are carrying
One advisor, hundreds of students
At 500-to-1 ratios, a personalised plan only reaches the students who book appointments. Everyone else gets a leaflet and a job board.
Pressure on employability metrics
League tables and funding track graduate outcomes. You answer for employability without knowing which skills your students are missing.
First-destination reporting is backwards-looking
Outcome surveys arrive 15 months after graduation, too late to act. You need a signal while students are still enrolled.
How it works
Students upload a CV
Each student uploads a CV or builds a skill profile in minutes. Acelro parses it into a skill inventory. Your staff enter nothing by hand.
Gap analysis against target roles
Each student picks the roles they want, or pastes a job posting, and gets a skill-gap report grounded in live job market data.
Roadmap, portfolio, and a cohort dashboard
Each student gets a learning roadmap and a public portfolio for employers. Your career centre gets the cohort dashboard: skill gaps aggregated across every student.
What the first learners said
“The first project I opened was my Master's degree project. Acelro helped me get it right.”
Master's student, UK
“I stopped waiting until I felt ready and started showing up in public with what I know.”

April 2026 pilot, 21 learners, from the 8 who answered the exit survey.
A credential students can earn before they graduate
A certification is one of the few employability signals a student can earn on their own timetable, and an employer can verify it. On Acelro the exam becomes a module on that student's roadmap, ordered around what they can already do and sitting next to the skills their target roles ask for, rather than a separate course bought somewhere else.
Hands-on practice, where we have it, runs in a hosted environment in the browser, so a student on a borrowed laptop is not shut out of it and there is nothing for IT to install.
Exams cost money and students should know what they are committing to before they book one, so every guide is public and leads with the certifying body's own published figures: the format, the length, the fee, how long the certificate lasts, and the weight of every domain. Read the exam guides.
Pilot terms
One cohort, one term, founder-led onboarding, no procurement to start. Licence terms come after the pilot, banded by enrolment.
Annual, banded by enrolment. Pilot terms first.
- Site licence, priced by enrolment band, not per login
- Every enrolled student gets gap analysis, roadmap, lessons, and portfolio
- Career centre staff seats included at no extra cost
- Pilot first: one cohort, one term, honest debrief before any annual commitment
Not ready for a call?
We'll send the pilot brief instead: pricing bands, pilot terms, and what the cohort dashboard shows.
What procurement will ask you
The four answers a career-services director gets asked for first. All four are in the FAQ below as well.
Data stays in the EU
Student data is stored in the EU. A CV is parsed for skill data and held against that student's account only.
We sign your DPA
A data processing agreement with your institution, signed before a cohort goes live.
LTI 1.3 single sign-on
Single sign-on and auto-enrolment from your LMS, turned on during onboarding and included in the platform fee.
Nothing for IT to install
Acelro runs in the browser, so a cohort can be live within a week of signing without an IT project in front of it.
Questions career services teams ask first
What is in the sample dashboard?
It opens a sample organisation. The data is made up; the dashboard is the real one.
How do you handle student data and GDPR?
Data is stored in the EU. A student's CV is parsed for skill data and stored against their account only. We do not share it with employers without the student's action, and we do not use it to train models outside Acelro. We sign a data processing agreement with your institution.
How do you verify students belong to our institution?
Students sign up with their university email and we validate the domain, the same check we run for student pricing. You can also invite a cohort by CSV so enrolment matches your records.
Do we need to integrate with our LMS?
No, not to get started. Acelro runs in the browser, so a cohort can be live within a week of signing with nothing for IT to install. If you want single sign-on and auto-enrolment from your LMS instead, we support LTI 1.3 launch. We turn it on for your institution during onboarding, included in the platform fee rather than billed separately. Tell us on the call and we'll set it up before your cohort goes live.
What reporting does the career centre get?
The cohort dashboard shows aggregated skill gaps, engagement and completion per student, and quiz scores. You see at a glance which skills your cohort is missing for the roles they want, and you can export it for leadership.
Which subject areas does this cover?
Skill requirements come from live job postings and O*NET data, covering business, computing, engineering, design, and most professional tracks, not just software roles.
How does a pilot work?
One cohort, one term, founder-led onboarding for your career centre staff. At the end we look at engagement and outcomes together, and only then talk about an annual licence. If the pilot did not deliver, you owe nothing.
