Help your Year 12 students prove what they can do
Employers can receive 50 to 150 applications for a single entry-level role, and most resumes make the same claims. Exemplar Talent Connect gives your students independently verified skills scores. Employers see those scores under a display name the student controls — never their full name or contact details until an employer makes a job offer — so capability speaks first.
Teachers and career advisers do not need a platform account. Your role is to inform, encourage and point students to the right starting place.
What students sit
| Assessment | What it measures | Time |

| Ethics and Integrity | Judgement in real workplace situations | 25 min |
| Artificial Intelligence (AI) Workplace Readiness | Using AI safely and well at work, in three tiers by role | 25–35 min |

Hire school leavers and job seekers on proven skills
Every candidate on Exemplar Talent Connect has independently verified workplace skills scores. Until 31 December 2026, register free and preview every candidate's display name, suburb, education, verified scores, availability, interests and certifications. When you want to meet someone, request an introduction for $847 including GST, or become a member for a set number of introductions each month. Interviews focus on fit and motivation, because baseline capability is already proven.

Common questions
Is Exemplar Talent Connect legitimate?
Yes. It is a product of Exemplar Performance Advantage Pty Ltd, an Australian company established in 1981 with 45 years of performance consulting, workforce development and corporate governance experience. You can check our business registration on the Australian Business Register.
What if my child's scores are not high?
Different roles need different levels, and most entry-level roles need solid rather than exceptional scores. The results also show exactly where to improve, and assessments can be retaken after six months.
Can my child use it while at university?
Yes. Many students use their profile to find better part-time work while studying. Credentials never expire, so they remain useful for full-time job hunting later.
Why pay for assessments when job boards are free?
Free job boards rely on unverified claims. Verified scores give employers proof, which helps your child stand out and be taken seriously.
