Development of a proof-of-concept platform that automatically matches schools and teachers based on predefined criteria, in response to the structural teacher shortage in education.
Project Overview
Edumatch wants to bring schools and teachers closer together through a digital platform that goes beyond a classic job board. The teacher shortage means that schools often find it difficult to locate suitable profiles, while teachers are looking for assignments that truly match their expertise, region and availability. The challenge was to build a proof-of-concept that could demonstrate the functioning of automatic matching between both parties.
Solution
Development of a web platform in Laravel and Vue
Three user roles: teachers, schools and admin, each with their own environment
Profile management for teachers with relevant criteria such as subjects, level, region and availability
Job posting management for schools with publication, follow-up and candidate overview
Automatic matching based on predefined criteria, without swipe mechanics
Communication and notification system between schools and teachers
Dashboard and email integration for tracking the entire process
Results
The proof-of-concept is live and demonstrates the functioning and added value of the automatic matching model between schools and teachers. The platform forms a solid technical foundation on which further development can take place, and confirms the potential of a targeted digital approach to the challenges in the education landscape.
