Who this helps
Students and schools. This page is written to make the next step clear without exposing private details or promising a result that still needs review.
What makes a good Proof Mission
A good Proof Mission is small, safe, clearly described and connected to a useful skill or resume example.
Beginner-friendly examples
Beginner tasks may include creating a checklist, helping with simple setup, writing a support note, recording a proof example or practising clear communication.
How proof gets added
Proof should explain the task, the skill used and the outcome. It should avoid private customer information and should be reviewed where needed.
When guidance or supervision is needed
Guidance is needed when a task involves private data, payment, onsite work, devices, repairs, vulnerable people or anything outside a student’s comfort level.
Examples of beginner Proof Missions
- Help someone organise photos or update an app.
- Write a simple issue note after checking a device problem.
- Prepare a return checklist for a supervised device support task.
- Explain a basic technology step in plain English.
The goal is not to pretend a small task is a full job. The goal is to capture proof that you can follow instructions, communicate clearly and complete useful work.

Common questions
Does this guarantee work or approval?

Public sharing should only show information approved for sharing. Private contact details, payment details, sensitive notes and unreviewed information should stay private.
How does this help a student?
It helps connect skills, proof, task experience and Live Resume examples so a student can explain what they can do more clearly.

Proof Missions now work better with time, location and sign-off
A strong proof mission is not only a claim. It can include what happened, where it happened safely, when it started, when it finished, who signed off and what skill tags were demonstrated. This gives students better evidence for MateCard and Live Resume.
