The Log

Filling out an internship listing can mean going through a lot of fields. Employer Prefill V1 is here to make that process a little easier.

Employers can now use predefined information to quickly fill parts of a new internship listing instead of entering everything from scratch.

This is the first version of Prefill, with more room to grow as we learn how employers use it.

There is a lot happening behind the screens, and now it is time to tighten it up.

The current focus is on optimizing the systems that already exist, improving how they communicate with each other, and removing unnecessary friction between different parts of the platform.

It is not always about adding something new. Sometimes the better move is making what is already there faster, cleaner, and more connected.

This is the next phase of building CareerTruss: strengthening the structure before adding more weight to it.

Employers now have a simpler way to keep up with what is happening across their internships.

DailyDose brings the important updates together into one daily digest, so employers can see what needs their attention without having to keep checking the dashboard throughout the day.

It is designed to be a small daily nudge—not another stream of notifications—to help keep employer activity moving.

The list of fields keeps growing. Five more areas have now been added to the CareerTruss field map:

Electronics - Semiconductor, Human Resources - People, Science - Research, Psychology - Behaviour, and Operations - Management.

The goal is simple: make the map broad enough to represent the many different directions a career can take.

An unexpected issue was discovered in Internships page. Internship descriptions were successfully submitted and approved, but were not appearing when the listing was published.

It is unclear exactly when this issue first appeared, but the problem was found and fixed.

New internship descriptions now render correctly after Admin approval.

The documentation has finally arrived.

CareerTruss is growing into more than just the screens people see. Behind the platform are systems, decisions, rules, and ideas that deserve a place to be explained properly.

The Docs are built to document how CareerTruss works, why certain decisions were made, and how the platform continues to take shape.

From major systems to smaller details, the goal is to make the structure behind CareerTruss easier to explore, understand, and follow. And yes, it even comes with a dark mode for more comfortable reading.

EIES - Employer Inactivity Enforcement System is now being built into the CareerTruss employer workflow.

The system is being tested rigorously—not just to make sure it works, but to make sure its timers, pauses, reactivations, and enforcement behave correctly across different situations.

There is a lot riding on this system. EIES will eventually be responsible for keeping employer activity responsive, so getting the logic right matters just as much as getting the feature built.

Introducing CareerTruss Notification Engine - CTNE, Students and employers will now receive automated emails from CareerTruss when something important requires their attention.

What makes CTNE different is that it is designed as the central hub for CareerTruss notifications.

Every notification call goes through the engine first. The engine decides whether a message should be sent, when it should be sent, and how it should respond to what the user has done.

This gives CareerTruss a absolute layer of control over its entire notification system, making notifications more dynamic, responsive, and easier to evolve as the platform grows.

Email is becoming an important part of how CareerTruss communicates. Verification emails, application updates, reminders, and other events should not have to depend on someone sending them manually.

That is where CTNE comes in—the automated mailing system being built to handle these communications as they happen across the platform.

It is still taking shape, but the goal is simple: when something important happens on CareerTruss, the right message should reach the right person at the right time.

Online or remote training and bootcamp internships are hereby no longer permitted. All Training and Bootcamp opportunities must now take place at a physical, offline venue/training.

Employers posting a training or bootcamp internship must also provide the physical venue address and clearly state their refund policy.

The internship structure needed more than a simple list of compensation types. Standard internships and training or bootcamp opportunities work differently, so they now sit at the centre of two separate cores.

Standard Internships include two paths: Unpaid and Stipend.

Training / Bootcamp opportunities also include two paths: Free and Fee Required.

This structure makes the nature of an opportunity clearer from the beginning—whether a student is applying for work experience, joining free training, or considering a programme that requires a fee.

Employers can now delete their own listings directly from the Employer Dashboard, without needing Admin approval.

Live, expired, and rejected listings can all be permanently removed.

Deletion is permanent. Once a listing has been deleted, it cannot be restored—not by the employer or by an Admin. Please review the listing carefully before confirming.

An issue in the Employer Dashboard was causing the application preview to be restricted by ProfileGate—a requirement intended only for student accounts.

The restriction has now been removed, allowing employers to preview applications as intended.

After creating an account, users are now guided to a dedicated email verification page with clear instructions on what to do next.

If an account already exists but its email has not yet been verified, CareerTruss now provides a reminder during login along with the option to resend the verification email.

Toast notifications have also been redesigned with the CareerTruss visual language, bringing a more consistent Truss experience across the platform.

The Forgot Password experience is now available from the CareerTruss login page.

Users can securely reset their password by verifying their email address and following the password reset link sent to their inbox.
