What is SwapPro? And why it’s the first of its kind

For decades, employers and training providers have operated in silos. One side focuses on hiring job-ready candidates, the other on preparing individuals with the skills they need to succeed. But the link between training and guaranteed employment outcomes has remained loose at best. SwapPro changes that.

SwapPro is a platform designed to connect employers and training providers through Sector-Based Work Academy Programmes (SWAPs), offering a direct pathway from skills training to employment. The platform enables employers to post job roles with guaranteed job interviews for candidates who complete approved training courses, while training providers can offer learners a clear route into work with real job opportunities at the end.

This is not another recruitment tool or learning management system. SwapPro bridges a gap that has long needed closing. By linking upskilling with guaranteed interviews, SwapPro makes employment outcomes more predictable for learners, more reliable for providers, and more cost-effective for employers. The result is a smarter, joined-up approach to skills and hiring.

Why SwapPro is different

There are platforms for job listings. There are platforms for training delivery. But there has never been a single platform that guarantees a link between the two in such a direct and structured way. SwapPro is built specifically around SWAP employment programmes, which means every feature is tailored to creating real employment outcomes through training partnerships.

For employers, this means being able to connect with a pipeline of job-ready candidates who are already being prepared with the specific skills needed for their roles. No more sifting through irrelevant CVs or investing time and money into training new hires from scratch. SwapPro offers access to pre-qualified talent, matched to your hiring needs.

For training providers, SwapPro offers the ability to partner with employers to guarantee interviews for course completers. This not only boosts the appeal of your courses but also helps meet funding and performance metrics linked to job outcomes. It’s a win-win: learners see tangible value, employers fill roles efficiently, and providers enhance their offer.

How it works

The process is straightforward.

Employers sign up to the platform and post job roles that include a guaranteed interview for candidates who complete an associated training course. These courses are delivered by training providers who are also part of the platform.

Training providers can search for roles and employers aligned with their course content, propose partnerships, and showcase learner outcomes. Once the partnership is agreed, learners who complete the course are automatically eligible for the guaranteed interview.

The platform handles the administration, notifications, and reporting. Employers get access to talent that is prepped and ready. Providers can focus on delivering the course. Learners know there’s a job opportunity at the end.
