We have built a uniquely browsable career library with 250+ handpicked relevant careers. Our thought process, to paraphrase Dumbledore, “Help will always be provided to those students who ask for it”.Now there are career libraries out there, so what makes ours different, and what makes it in our view better. When we asked students what challenges they faced when exploring careers in such libraries, or any other source, we identified one big problem. There are a lot of careers and it’s a little overwhelming to know where to start. So we have designed our library keeping this challenge at our core.The first design decision we made was to add the feature of selection criteria. This allows anyone to shortlist through careers based on how students would like to explore careers. They do this by looking 1) at what subjects they are interested in, 2) what stream the career requires in school, 3) what industry they would work in 4) what are the degree requirements (if any). We plan to add more filtering criteria such as ease of finding jobs, pay, lifestyle, growth et al in the next version.The second design decision we made is to provide all the relevant information on one page, in a card format. It would include a short high-level definition of each career, and the criterion information mentioned above. The idea here is to give students a taste of a career really quickly so that they can decide whether this is something they want to know more about or ignore. This will help them save time, and quickly shortlist a few careers they want to explore more deeply.Having said all this, there are a lot more ideas that we are unable to implement right now. If there are any developers out there, who would like to collaborate with us we would love to speak with you. One of our thoughts is on how to take this to underprivileged students and make a small dent in democratising career access. We are only just getting started.Link -
