Spotlight On Careers
California Community College
Branding and a progressive web app for an inspiring career catalog platform. Spotlight On Careers showcases various professional careers across different job sectors and pathways. Its mission is to motivate high school students and job seekers by offering salary details, job descriptions, and videos featuring individuals sharing their personal experiences in various roles. Together with the Spotlight On Careers team, we chose to create a progressive web application (PWA) instead of a native app to streamline the development, launch, and maintenance processes. Our team carefully designed and built a fully responsive platform with user-friendly navigation through a comprehensive career catalog. The use of unique and inspiring photography associated with each career pathway enhances visual recognition and engagement. The app is accessible to all users without requiring account creation. Utilizing local storage technology, it allows users to save virtual sessions on their devices, making it easy to bookmark favorite job sectors, career paths, or educational institutions. We also integrated an API to keep the app updated with the latest salary information. Furthermore, we added a search feature that employs geolocation technology, providing users with details about nearby colleges relevant to their chosen careers. This strategy ensures that everyone has easy access to current career information and resources suited to their location.
