An app for students to find their work experience from the comfort of their homes
Work XP is an app which connects student users with work experience opportunities at local businesses.
Our goal is that this app provides a way to students to get short-term opportunities.
It gives younger users an accessible platform to find work experience and gain awareness of industries that exist for their mandatory work experience as part of their studies.
We built our user experience around two user journeys, business and student users, which have access to different functionalities in the app. We used these user stories to build out wireframes and considered frames for both user journeys. We looked at a theme, colour, fonts, while keeping in mind the target audience.
