Project pipeline
Access a pipeline of purpose-led industry projects.
University Partnerships
Purpose-led industry projects for your students.
AskPro turns requests for support from our nationwide network of nonprofit members into projects for our university partners.
Designed for work integrated learning (WIL), these projects give students practical experience while helping nonprofits make a real difference in their communities.
Trusted by
Extend the capacity of your WIL team.
Building a strong WIL program takes time. Community partners need to be identified, opportunities assessed and project expectations carefully managed before a project can be presented to students.
AskPro works alongside your existing WIL coordinators, academics and industry engagement teams to provide additional capacity where it is most valuable.
Broader reach
Connect with non-profit and social enterprise organisations beyond existing university networks.
Less project sourcing
Reduce the time involved in identifying and developing suitable opportunities.
Stronger project briefs
Improve the quality and consistency of the information provided to students and academics.
Relevant matching
Match projects with suitable courses, disciplines and student cohorts.
Community impact
Create positive outcomes for students, universities and community partners.
More than a technology platform.
AskPro is a managed WIL project service, not a project marketplace or software platform.
Our team works directly with university staff and community organisations to help move projects from an initial request to a clear, achievable brief.
AskPro complements your existing WIL technology, CRM, placement or project-management systems. We provide the relationship management, consultation and project scoping that happens before a project is ready to be entered into those systems.
Community opportunity
An organisation shares a genuine challenge or opportunity.
AskPro managed project development
AskPro consults, assesses suitability and develops the project scope.
University WIL system and program
The university team reviews the prepared opportunity within its existing processes.
AskPro’s community network
Connecting universities with organisations creating social impact.
AskPro supports a national network of non-profit and social enterprise organisations.
We help these organisations access practical solutions through volunteered professional expertise, university student-led projects and collaborations involving universities, businesses and community organisations.
This network gives university partners access to authentic organisational challenges and opportunities that can become relevant, purposeful learning experiences for students.

Regional development
From community need to university-ready project brief.
Many nonprofit organisations have worthwhile community-based projects but need help translating them into a clearly defined student project.
AskPro brings experience in consulting, project management and stakeholder engagement to this process.
- 1
Understand the opportunity
Explore the organisation’s challenge, opportunity and desired outcome.
- 2
Assess suitability
Determine whether the opportunity is appropriate for a student-led project.
- 3
Define the scope
Establish realistic objectives, boundaries and deliverables.
- 4
Identify the disciplines
Determine the skills, course areas or academic disciplines required.
- 5
Develop the brief
Produce a structured project brief for consideration by the university.
- 6
Prepare the partner
Help the organisation understand its responsibilities and prepare for student engagement.
We then work with the university to align suitable projects with relevant courses, student cohorts and delivery periods.
The result is a better-prepared community partner, a clearer starting point for students and less project-development work for the university team.
