StageMetGert is a first-year (Propedeuse) student project developed for the HBO-ICT Web Technology course. It is a comprehensive web platform designed to streamline the internship management process for both students and educational administrators. Built with Flask and SQLite, it offers a robust system for browsing, favoriting, and applying for internships, while providing administrators with powerful tools to oversee the entire lifecycle.
- Internship Discovery: Browse through a curated list of internships across various sectors like ICT and Marketing.
- Favorites System: Save internships of interest to a personal favorites list (available for both guest users via cookies and registered students via the database).
- Application Management: Apply for internships and track your status.
- Personal Dashboard: Manage your profile, view favorited internships, and see your current internship details including supervisor and assigned grade.
- Secure Authentication: User registration and login with hashed password protection.
- Comprehensive Overview: A central dashboard to monitor all active internships, assigned students, and supervisors.
- Supervisor Management: Add, update, or remove internship supervisors and assign them to specific departments.
- Internship Catalog Management: Fully manage the list of available internships (Create, Read, Update, Delete).
- Student Oversight: Manage student accounts and their internship assignments.
- Grading System: Assign and update grades for students upon completion of their internships.
- Backend: Python 3.13+, Flask
- Database: SQLite with SQLAlchemy ORM
- Migrations: Flask-Migrate (Alembic)
- Forms & Validation: Flask-WTF, WTForms
- Authentication: Flask-Login
- Frontend: Jinja2 Templates, Custom CSS (with Bootstrap overrides)
- Styling: Modern UI with a dedicated color palette (
