Abstract
Placement programme is now an integral part of higher education curriculums as it brings invaluable chances to integrate practice and theories. However, traditional course management systems cannot handle all the information inside a placement programme such as the input from stakeholders like employers and placement counselors. We have recently designed and implemented an information system to support the information need of our placement programme. The system provides a centralized platform for employers to post placement information; for students to view possible placement opportunities; and for placement counselor to provide placement guidance to the students. The system also provides a matching service to identify the best placement opportunities for each student and the best students for each placement job. This paper shares our experience in the design and implementation of our placement information system.
