We've noticed both on the academic side and employer side that there could be opportunity for in-person or hybrid experiences. It would be great to include under "preferred companies" something along the lines of "Open to:" and then the educator can select one or multiple options for remote, in-person, hybrid. As we try to grow our larger company bucket, in-person opportunities are something more valuable to this group. Additionally, it could also be filterable so if a company is only looking for in-person experiences they could filter by this option when searching.

A school I work with reports on the majority ownership of the employers their educators work with as part of their DEI plan. We currently don't have any way to know the leadership of our businesses on our marketplace. It might be helpful to be able to see the representation our employer database is. We could also create a public facing symbol to highlight Black, Indigenous, or Women led businesses. This would be helpful for educators who wish to support Black, Indigenous, or Women led businesses. An example from Google - https://cassiuslife.com/274264/google-black-owned-business/

As an employer, I'd love to be able to label my projects as Beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert or something. I think combining that with skills can be used by educators to even more quickly assess my projects and whether they are a good fit. Similarly, I'd love to see educators marking their experiences with what level of skill they are looking for in the projects too. That way I could browse the marketplace by skill and this skill level and quickly find matches.

As an educator, I should see under Portal > Companies tab not only my portal pass companies but also those who have worked with my portal. This would be very beneficial in helping understand who I am currently working with so I can monitor and re-engage companies as needed.

Allow users to filter projects/companies that are looking for specific criteria - e.g. an educator in the UK wants to only see projects in the marketplace that have set their preference to "Anywhere or UK".

This will better help companies identify courses to work with that are willing to take their project on based on listed location restrictions Recommended by cruiz@wellaware.me

The current automatic cover photo for consumer goods and services is of donuts but does not accurately represent the sector. Something more appropriate may be an image of in a store, or products on a shelf.
