SkillForge
Built for campus placement season

Measure the gap.
Then close it.

SkillForge reads your resume, measures every skill against the role you’re actually chasing, and returns the shortest honest path to ready.

How it works

Generic advice is the problem, not the product.

Most platforms recommend the same four courses to everyone. SkillForge measures one student against one role and shows its working — every number on screen is arithmetic over a published benchmark, not a model’s guess.

It reads the resume you already send

Not a questionnaire. SkillForge parses the PDF, separates claims from evidence, reads your coursework for corroboration, and cites the page and line of every weak sentence it flags.

It measures against a published bar

Each skill is scored against a versioned benchmark for the role you're chasing — not against other students, and not against a model's opinion. Ask why a number is what it is and there's a rubric rung and a resume line behind it.

It plans backwards from the offer

Fourteen weeks, three lanes. Gap work feeds the build; the build becomes what you talk about in the interview. Ordering falls out of which gap blocks which project, so the plan explains itself.

It only moves when a gap closes

Readiness is the weighted distance between your skills and the role's requirements. Hours logged on their own don't move it. When a track stalls, the dashboard names it.

Find out where you actually stand.

Upload a resume, pick a role, and get a cited, line-by-line report. Switching target roles afterwards is instant.
