How it works

How Field Link works for each role

Every placement moves through the same chain: publish, apply, endorse, log every week, certify. Here is what each person does along the way.

Get started
For

Students

  1. Register on the web, or send hi to +255682502300 on WhatsApp.
  2. Build your profile: course, education history, skills and CV.
  3. Browse open slots. Each listing shows how many places remain.
  4. Apply. The requirements are checked before the application goes in.
  5. Your university endorses it, if your institution requires that.
  6. Once placed, fill the logbook every day on WhatsApp and submit each week to your supervisor.
  7. When the organization completes your placement, your certificate arrives as a PDF with a QR code.
For

Organizations

  1. Register your organization. Field Link approves it before you can publish.
  2. Publish a placement: role, dates and how many slots you can host.
  3. State requirements: skills, level of study and documents.
  4. Review applicants, ranked best fit first against those requirements.
  5. Shortlist, schedule interviews and accept.
  6. Confirm the placement and enter the on-site supervisor's WhatsApp number. Slots close by themselves when full.
  7. Sign off each logbook week, or let the supervisor do it from their phone.
  8. At the end, record your evaluation. The certificate is issued on the spot.
For

Universities

  1. Register your institution with its code, or claim it if it is already in the directory.
  2. See every student on your roster and where each one stands.
  3. Endorse or decline applications from one queue.
  4. Assign academic supervisors to active placements.
  5. Read each week's logbook and give feedback.
  6. Compare students on the performance rankings and export the placement register as CSV.
For

On-site supervisors

  1. No account needed. The organization adds your WhatsApp number to the placement.
  2. Each week you receive the student's logbook on WhatsApp.
  3. Reply APPROVE LB12 to sign it off.
  4. Or reply RETURN LB12 with a reason, and the student corrects it.
  5. Only weeks you sign off count toward the student's hours and certificate.
For

Administrators

  1. Approve or decline organizations and universities after checking their documents.
  2. Add an organization or university directly, with a login for its contact person.
  3. Follow every placement and the performance rankings across the platform.
  4. Revoke a certificate if it was issued in error; its verification page shows it at once.
  5. Check the activity log for every change, and the WhatsApp outbox for every message.
