GoSprout vs STEAMe WBL Hub

GoSprout is a work-based learning management platform for apprenticeships, internships and pre-apprenticeships. It serves K–12 and CTE programs, colleges and universities, skilled-trades and workforce organisations, and enterprise employers. Apprenticeship workflows cover program standards, applicant processes, automated alerts, on-the-job training, related instruction progress, reporting and compliance. Internship tools include application vetting, stakeholder coordination, goal setting, time tracking, integrated courses, mentor access and reporting. The company says reporting and compliance automation can help programs prepare for Department of Labor site visits and maintain grant eligibility. Educational institutions can access the platform for free, and apprentice profiles are described as free. The employer apprenticeship plan costs $40 a month per enrolled apprentice; administrative users are not charged, and implementation fees may be quoted if required. Apprentices can use a free iOS or Android app, while sponsor, employer, RTI provider and journeyworker users access the platform in a browser. GoSprout lists LMS, payroll and CRM integrations, and enterprise accounts can access its API. It says onboarding, training and ongoing support are included at no additional cost.
