Educators and workforce organizations can now better define and report job readiness with Yotru’s enhanced platform built for real screening and measurable outcomes.
New platform features strengthen institutional control, readiness measurement, and outcome reporting
Waterloo, Ontario (January 26, 2026) – Yotru has announced the release of an enhanced version of its career platform, designed to support educational institutions, workforce development programs, outplacement services, and recruiting organizations. The update introduces new capabilities that strengthen institutional control, improve how job readiness is measured, and simplify outcome reporting across programs.
The Yotru platform is built to help institutions produce resumes that align with real screening expectations rather than generic templates. By emphasizing consistent structure, measurable readiness, and practical outputs, the platform supports educators and workforce teams in demonstrating clearer employment outcomes for learners and job seekers.
A key enhancement in this release is support for direct Microsoft Word downloads. Learners can now export fully editable, submission-ready resumes that integrate cleanly into academic workflows and employer application processes. This feature allows institutions to maintain standardized formats while giving learners flexibility at the point of submission.
The platform also introduces customizable resume readiness scoring. Institutions can define scoring criteria based on program objectives, employer partnerships, regional labor markets, or reporting requirements. This ensures readiness is measured in ways that reflect institutional priorities rather than one-size-fits-all benchmarks.
In addition, Yotru expands configuration across the user experience. Institutions can tailor onboarding flows to match program structure, parse existing resumes into standardized formats, and define customizable quick actions that guide learners toward relevant improvements and next steps. These tools are designed to support structured guidance without increasing administrative burden.
The release also includes a robust reporting and backend analysis system. This enables institutions to simplify internal tracking, support outcome reporting, and meet external funder and audit requirements with greater consistency and confidence.
“Institutions are being asked to demonstrate employment outcomes with greater clarity and accountability,” said Zaki Usman, Co-Founder of Yotru. “This release gives educators and workforce teams more control over how readiness is defined, taught, measured, and reported, while keeping resumes practical and aligned with real hiring conditions.”
Jeffrey Huis in ’t Veld, Co-Founder of Yotru, added that strong outcomes depend on more than learner-facing tools. “Systems that support oversight and reporting are just as important. Yotru is designed to make program management and accountability easier without adding administrative complexity.”
The Yotru platform supports use cases across post-secondary education, vocational and skills training, publicly funded workforce development initiatives, nonprofit employment programs, outplacement services, and recruiting organizations.
Yotru is an AI-enhanced resume and job-readiness platform focused on screening alignment, institutional consistency, and measurable employment outcomes. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, Yotru works with education and workforce organizations across North America and internationally.
