Aptem introductionWe originally developed Aptem because we recognised that most people would benefit from jobsearch assistance, especially in tough economic times when there is considerable competition forvacancies. When advisors deliver assistance there is a salary underpinning every hour of deliveryand this means that it is expensive help to offer and is often rationed. We recognised that atechnology platform could be made available at far lower cost and would have the benefits of beingaccessible 24/7 and from any location with an Internet connected computer. That was in 2009 andsince then Aptem has been continuously developed and improved to deliver online courses, managecontacts with employers and placements, ePorfolios and manage apprenticeships.We offer Aptem to several different sectors and there are a number of features that have beenadded due to sector specific needs. For example, training providers that want content andePortfolio for funded employability qualifications or those working with the unemployed who needUniversal Jobmatch integration.Please note. According to the sector, those being assisted may be referred to as jobseekers,learners, customers, clients, residents, students or apprentices. For simplicity, in this manual wemainly use the term ‘user’.This manual describes the various features and how to use them. If anything is unclear, please docall the Aptem support line on 020 7870 1000. MWS Technology LtdPage 1www.mwstechnology.com
