Career Portal - Online Job Search Script

Career Portal V2.0

Career Portal is a modern multi-role job board and training platform built with CodeIgniter 4. Jobseekers create profiles, search vacancies, and apply online. Employers publish company pages, post jobs, and manage applicants. Admins control jobs, companies, courses, CMS content, menus, newsletter campaigns, advertisement slots, and site settings — all from one panel.

The site is designed as a living career marketplace: seekers keep profiles and applications up to date, companies publish and refresh openings, and admins approve content, manage lookups (categories, locations, experience levels, and more), and run marketing through ads and email newsletters.
