Our subject

Our subject is Provide easy access to learning in-demand skills.
It comes from the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal number 4, which is entitled "Quality Education".

Our research question

The research question we have formulated together is "How can we make it easier for an individual to acess skills eligible for vocational training in order to get or keep a job?". The two projects ideas below try to answer that question.


Project 1 · Ready Skill-Set Go

Context

When? Where? Who? Why? Explain the specific context of your project.

Thanks to a repertory of job offers and the skillset required for those specific job, associated with the right courses to gain those in-demand skills, Ready Skill-Set Go allows individuals to access or maintain employment by providing them an ergonomic and easy access to skills eligible for vocational training and specific jobs currently in tension.
Any individual can benefit from the learning classes offered on the website, as well as the services regarding job trends, in-demand skills list and job matching. Users are mainly individuals, but also companies wanting to upskill and reskill their workforce as well as wanting to search the fitting employees for the positions they are offering. This project is answering the need for easy access of learning content, knowledge and skills. Ready Skill-Set Go's goal is to answer the growing need to easily access in-demand skills, thus increasing the skilled workforce within companies and states. We also go even further, providing the opportunity to match learners with courses and skilled individuals with jobs.

Therefore, Readay Skill-Set Go is designed for any individual ready to take a step towards gaining the skillset required to go get or keep the job they want, thanks to an easy access to in-demand skills.

In order to efficiently facilitate the access to learning in-demand skills, the platform can be accessed at any time, from anywhere. And to make it even easier, some of the content can be download, so that learners can access ressources when they are offline and in remote areas.

Target + persona

For whom? Describe the users and beneficiaries of your project, and then suggest a quick persona (refer to Part 2 of the course for methodology tips).

Any individual can benefit from the learning classes offered on the website, as well as the services regarding job trends, in-demand skills list and job matching. Moreover, companies are also beneficiaries regarding those services, as well as regarding their need for up- and reskilling their workforce. Users are mainly individuals, but also companies wanting to upskill and reskill their workforce as well as wanting to search the fitting employees for the positions they are offering.

Persona

Service offered

What? How? Explain how your solution works, what it enables the user to do, and how is solves the initial issue.

Readay Skill-Set Go is designed for any individual ready to take a step towards gaining the skillset required to go get or keep the job they want, thanks to an easy access to in-demand skills. The platform therefore offers the learning classes, as well as the services regarding job trends, in-demand skills list and job matching. This solution appears efficient since it takes the problem the other way around than it usually is : it references job offers and the skillset required for those specific jobs, then it suggests the right courses to gain those in-demand skills.

Features + user flow

Explain what features your project involves and hierarchize them from the most important one to the least. Remember: a feature is a verb + a noun, it describes an action that the user can do.

Then, for your first and most important feature (the key feature), write down and draw the user flow: what steps will the user have to go through, from the initial situation to the final situation? Again, refer to Part 2 of the course for methodological tips.

User flow 1

Illustrations

Find pictures that describe the universe around your service (context, users, places, technologies…). Don't try to illustrate the final service that you may have in mind but instead, its context. Basically, translate the keywords you used in the descriptions above to pictures.

Benchmark

List competitors or related projects, and describe how they relate or differentiate to your project.

References

Books, films, articles… list every reference that may be relevant regarding this project, and explain why.


Project 2 · Share and Learn

Context

When? Where? Who? Why? Explain the specific context of your project.

Who: For all adults in their professional life. It can be retired people who gained a lot of knowledge throughout the years, who would like to share them with others, just like it can concern a young adult, starting a new job, and wanting to learn more about it.
Why: knowledge can be wasted, for companies it costs a lot, it's a shame that all of it is lost. Some people don't have the experience needed for a job while others learned during years, so instead of starting from scratch, one could use what another people has learned over the years. People can share their skills, their experience.
When: It can be at any moment for the learners (the one starting to work, changing jobs etc..), for teachers it would be after a few years in a job, with experience.
where: All over the world! In different countries, things can be seen in a different way, that is why we think this project should benefit people from all over the world, to help others understand different cultures in different workplaces.

This project is based on sharing skills that you can't necessarily learn in school, it is for what you learn along the way, on the job.

Target + persona

For whom? Describe the users and beneficiaries of your project, and then suggest a quick persona (refer to Part 2 of the course for methodology tips).

Two targets from 18 to any age (a person can be the two ):
Learner: anyone wanting to change their job or anyone getting started on the labour market
Teacher: anyone who has worked for a few years and is willing to share their experience and what they have learned

Persona

Service offered

What? How? Explain how your solution works, what it enables the user to do, and how is solves the initial issue.

Our solution is a way to enable people to share their knowledge. With learn and share, you can learn new skills from people who gained them throughout the years by working in the field you want to join, and you can teach what your job thought you so those skills can be useful for somebody else.

Features + user flow

Explain what features your project involves and hierarchize them from the most important one to the least. Remember: a feature is a verb + a noun, it describes an action that the user can do.

Then, for your first and most important feature (the key feature), write down and draw the user flow: what steps will the user have to go through, from the initial situation to the final situation? Again, refer to Part 2 of the course for methodological tips.
