CareerLaunchpad.org — Interactive Workforce Readiness Platform
I designed and developed CareerLaunchpad.org as a comprehensive online resource for young people preparing to enter the workforce. The platform was built to deliver engaging, accessible, and legally compliant training content, with a specific focus on safety, employability skills, and career pathway awareness.
The project began with a needs assessment in collaboration with educators, industry partners, and compliance officers to define the platform’s structure and core features. From this, I created a detailed UX strategy, mapping each module’s flow to balance educational rigour with interactivity and ease of use.
Design-wise, I established a clean, high-contrast interface using the Poppins font on a #3a3a3a backdrop for maximum readability and visual consistency. Modular layouts were employed for flexibility, allowing content to be updated or expanded without disrupting the user experience.
Key features included:
Modular training content covering workplace safety, rights, and responsibilities.
Illustrated guides and infographics to aid comprehension for visual learners.
Mini quizzes after each section to reinforce learning and improve knowledge retention.
Final cumulative test generating a personalised certificate of completion.
Responsive design ensuring compatibility across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Accessibility compliance with WCAG standards for inclusive learning.
On the technical side, I built the site using a CMS framework for scalability, integrated secure data storage for quiz results, and optimised performance for low-bandwidth environments. User testing was conducted with target-age learners to ensure clarity, usability, and engagement.
The result was a streamlined, visually engaging platform that met California legal requirements for employer-developed safety training while delivering a memorable, learner-focused experience.
