Universities run many courses that include a component of work experience in the “real world”. For example, trainee teachers need to spend time in a school classroom under the supervision of an experienced teacher. Nurses need to experience hands-on work in a hospital to demonstrate that they can apply their academic skills in the work force.
The process of placing students in appropriate off-campus environments present university’s with great administrative challenges.

As is often the case, university placement officers use time-consuming, inefficient and outdated paper-based processes or excel spread sheets to manage the complex choreography of student placement. It’s our understanding that this is like herding rabbits.
You’d think with the technology available today that there is a better option. Well, you'll be delighted to discover there is.
Sonia is a web-based, database-driven management tool specifically designed to help your placement officers manage the difficult and time consuming process of allocating several hundred students to field placement venues with accuracy and ease.
Sonia is a database that removes many of the problems associated with the placement process, such as:
- changes in enrolment
- data entry errors
- student clearances and checks - such as police clearance, immunisation, insurance etc are all tracked
- past placement history - Sonia remembers past placements the student has attended
