Institutt for design
A diploma exploring the digital job market with a focus on student employability.
Student economy often requires an extra source of income during studies, especially when attending universities in larger cities. Additionally, there is an increasing pressure and need from the post grad market for first time applicants to already have some level of job experience when joining the “adult work life”. Thus, finding a job that is flexible around the student’s existing full-time job (their studies), is essential for many students to make ends meet, and it is also an important step on their individual career path.
This project is an exploration of the digital job market with the students (Norwegian and international) at higher institutions in Oslo, Norway as its primary target group. It is a design project in the intersection between service and interaction design, working within a mature market that contains a plethora of services and platforms.
This project proposes a solution positioned within the institutes of Oslo, easily accessible
for students. Through conversations and testing with students (the primary target group) and career guidance counsellors (the secondary target group), Creer was created as a hybrid product of a career guidance center and a traditional job posting board. Creer purpose is to assist the student on their journey in creating their own career path providing needed and relevant content as well as job opportunities - easily accessible. By doing so, it aims to decrease the time the student spends on preparing for, and participating in the job application process, letting the student focus on their main job – being students.
