University, degree apprenticeship, apprenticeship, employment with training. Today every student carries a pathway, shares one evidence base, and builds CVs, cover letters and non-university applications from it — whatever route they're on.
Working in my school’s peer-mentoring scheme showed me how much I enjoy breaking a hard problem down for someone else — the same instinct that draws me to a technology consulting role…

Name one concrete example of working with a team under a deadline — your Duke of Edinburgh expedition is in your evidence bank.
The UCAS applicant gets a workspace, feedback rounds and a deadline. The apprenticeship applicant gets a folder and goodwill. Same student, same school, two different standards of support.
The route-parity gap is not a UCAS problem; it is a visibility and support gap for everyone who is not applying to university. Outleap starts from a principle that already holds today: every student records an intended pathway, and the evidence they gather belongs to them, not to a single application form.
University, degree apprenticeship, apprenticeship, employment with training, or still deciding. Each student carries a pathway field today, and each one appears in the cohort view rather than only the UCAS applicants.
The evidence bank holds what a student has actually done. Today the same entries feed the personal statement and the wider application workbench — CVs, cover letters and non-university applications alike.
Staff see who has chosen a route, who is still undecided, and what support has been given, across the whole cohort, not just the students with a UCAS deadline.
An apprenticeship application is real work: a CV, a cover letter, employer questions answered against competencies. The workbench gives that work the same structure UCAS applicants already have, drawing on the student's banked evidence — and it's live today.
A CV workspace that draws on the evidence a student has already banked, so they build a CV from what they've genuinely done rather than a blank template.
Structured guidance for role-specific cover letters that helps a student express their own evidence against the role they're applying for.
Scaffolding for the application questions apprenticeship and employment routes ask, so students can structure a clear, evidenced answer in their own words.
Applying is live today: students build CVs, cover letters and non-university applications from their evidence. The longer aim adds opportunity discovery at the front and route-parity reporting at the back, so a Careers Lead can answer who is progressing on every pathway. Those two ends are on the roadmap, built on what exists today.
Planned: a supervised radar that surfaces apprenticeships and employment routes a student might not search for, each with a source, a reason it is shown, and a verified date. In development.
The application workbench above: the student moves from their evidence to a structured CV, cover letter or application, with staff sign-off. Live today.
Planned: route-parity reporting that shows progress across every pathway, so support no longer depends on which route a student chose. On the roadmap, built on today's cohort view.
Draft your “why healthcare?” answer using your hospital-volunteering evidence.
The shared evidence base, the pathway field and the application workbench are live now: each student records an intended route, builds CVs, cover letters and applications from their evidence, and appears in the staff cohort view, not only the UCAS applicants. Opportunity discovery and route-parity reporting are still in development.
See the pathway field, evidence base and application workbench that work today, and where opportunity discovery and route-parity reporting are heading. A consultative walkthrough of your process, not a generic feature tour.
