The problem

Under pressure to prove employability — with the tools to do it stretched thin.

Accreditation bodies globally are demanding verified graduate outcome evidence. Work experience at scale. Employment proof that is real, documented and reportable.

Work experience is supposed to bridge that gap. But organising, managing and scaling meaningful placements is a burden most institutions can't sustain. Time-poor students, stretched faculty and limited employer relationships mean placements stay inconsistent — and rarely aligned to what students are actually studying.

The data comes from the Industry Passport — independently verified, employer-graded, reportable. Not a survey. Not a self-assessment. Real work, real grades, real proof.

57%

of full-time undergraduates now do paid work during term time — leaving little room for course-aligned experience that moves the needle on outcomes.

The solution

Without redesigning anything. Just better outcomes.

No curriculum redesign. No burden on faculty. No new processes to manage.

Students on your courses are connected to real business challenges relevant to their subject area. They opt in alongside their studies. The experience is documented on the platform. Outcomes improve. Graduate employability strengthens.

New Horizons becomes a pipeline — connecting students who already know what they're signing up for, and sending them into the world better prepared than before.

Without barriers. Without additional burden.

Industry Sprints

Two to four weeks. Syllabus-aligned. Plug-and-play.

Challenges arrive as fixed-length Industry Sprints, engineered to drop into your existing academic term structure and map to specific syllabus modules.

Lecturers don't rewrite a single lesson. They pick a sprint that matches the unit they're already teaching, and the work experience runs alongside it — assessed against the same learning outcomes.

The answer to every lecturer who says “I don't have time.”

How it works

Three steps. No disruption.

01

List your courses

Share your prospectus with us — course name, level, entry grades, mode and dates. We handle the rest. No platform integration, no faculty burden, no redesign.

02

Students find you

Students describe what they want to study. Your courses are shown only to students who qualify — by grades, location and goals. No paid placement. The right fit, first.

03

Challenges go live

Every challenge arrives as a polished, structured brief with recommended delivery guidance — a ready-to-use resource that slots into your existing module. You integrate it your way. You get globally recognised graduate outcome evidence as a natural byproduct.

International recruitment

Give your agents something nobody else has.

Every university is selling the same thing — reputation, rankings, facilities. New Horizons gives your agents a genuinely different conversation.

Your courses include verified industry challenges. Your students graduate with an Industry Passport recognised by employers globally. That is what an international student in Dubai or Johannesburg wants to hear.
