The problem was the process
While building my own company, I started receiving internship applications from students, mostly in IT, cybersecurity and other technical fields.
At the same time, students around me said they couldn't find a single placement.
Something didn't add up.
The truth is that students apply blindly, companies get contacted unnecessarily, and programme leaders chase contracts and follow-ups in the background.
I received over a thousand LIA applications to my own company.
So we built Prakto
A free platform where students, schools and companies work in the same flow. Before, during and after the internship.
AI matches students with companies that actually want interns. Contracts are signed digitally in minutes instead of weeks. Weekly check-ins, internship journal and final evaluation are built in. No more chasing reports or emails. Schools get a real-time overview of all their students. Companies get tools for recruitment, onboarding and employer branding.
And Prakto supports every form of internship: LIA, APL, VFU and Prao. The whole chain, from secondary school to vocational college.
Free for everyone. Because this shouldn't be about who can afford it. It should be about who has the will.
More than just matching
Prakto isn't just about finding an internship. The platform is built for the entire internship process: before, during and after.
Students should be able to find relevant placements at companies that actually want interns. Schools should be able to follow up on their students and handle contracts and paperwork more easily. Companies should be visible to the right people, receive the right applications, and not be contacted unnecessarily when they don't have the need.
The goal is to bring together everything that today happens scattered across emails, phone calls, documents and separate systems, and make it more structured in one place.
The 5 most important features in Prakto
AI matching
Students get personal placement suggestions based on profile, interests and skills. Companies skip irrelevant applications and reach the right candidates directly.
Digital contracts with e-signing
Three-party contracts between student, school and company are signed digitally with OTP verification. Automatic archiving, template library and full audit trail. No more paperwork.
Weekly check-ins and internship journal
Structured follow-up between student, supervisor and teacher. Students document learnings, reflections and progress. Everything is collected and archived automatically.
Real-time overview for schools
Programme leaders see the status of every student placement, get alert notifications when something needs action, and can export reports directly. No more chasing status updates.
Supports every form of internship
LIA, APL, VFU and Prao in the same platform. From secondary school prao to vocational college LIA, same flow, same structure, regardless of programme.
Our vision
Our goal is to become a leading platform for internships in Sweden.
Not to be the biggest for the sake of being big, but because the more people who use Prakto, the easier it gets for everyone. Students find more relevant placements. Schools have fewer loose ends to keep track of. Companies meet the right candidates at the right time.
Since Prakto is free, all we ask in return is that you recommend us if you have a good experience, and that you tell us when something can be better. That's how we build the platform together.
