Key Challenges:
CareerLabs faced several obstacles in building a solution that could support a large and diverse user base:
- Fragmentation of Career Counseling & Exam Preparation: Students and job seekers often relied on disconnected, outdated resources, hindering their ability to progress effectively.
- Inconsistent Career Module Requirements: Frequent changes in requirements disrupted project consistency, making it difficult to maintain a coherent user experience.
- Limited Scalability: The existing SD card-based system couldn’t scale, limiting the app’s potential to support a growing user base with modern features.
Solution Implementation:
To address these challenges, we built a personalized career development platform that integrates job tracking, exam preparation, and mentorship into a cohesive, scalable solution.
1. Career Management Module:
- Personalized Job Listings: Students and job seekers input career interests, allowing the app to generate customized job suggestions.
- Skill Assessments: Users take tests to identify strengths and areas for improvement, with training recommendations to enhance skills.
- Progress Tracking: Real-time tracking of user progress, ensuring individuals stay on course toward their career goals. Mentors can access performance insights to guide users effectively.
2. Admissions Consulting Module:
- GRE Study Plan: The app generates a 60-day study plan for GRE preparation, with resources tailored to the user’s needs.
- Aptitude and Science Practice: Targeted practice sections to help users build proficiency and confidence.
- Mentor Support: Integration of mentor-led guidance with scheduled calls and progress reports ensures that users stay on track.
3. Agile Project Management & Scalability:
We employed an Agile project management system, ensuring that changes in career modules and requirements were efficiently implemented without disrupting the overall progress of the app.
Results:
The Elev8 App is now a fully functional digital platform that successfully integrates career counseling and educational consulting. The app is personalized to meet the needs of both students and job seekers, offering them tools to manage their career journey, enhance their skills, and achieve their goals in a structured, scalable manner.
- Enhanced User Engagement: Personalized recommendations, job listings, and study plans have led to higher user engagement and satisfaction.
- Scalable Platform: Moving away from SD card-based delivery allowed CareerLabs to scale their app and integrate real-time features.
- Streamlined Career Development: The seamless integration of job search, exam prep, and mentorship has empowered users to make informed decisions and progress confidently toward their career and educational aspirations.
The Elev8 App is an innovative solution for EdTech startups looking to digitize career counseling and exam preparation. With a focus on personalized learning, job readiness, and upskilling, the app positions CareerLabs as a leader in the digital transformation of career development.
Project Introduction
It is an EdTech Startup based out of Bangalore. They are primarily in the higher education space and provide students with preparatory courses for competitive exams like GMAT, GRE, IELTS and TOEFL. In addition, they also assist students with profile building and admissions consulting activities that could make their study abroad application stronger. The brand was delivering these courses on an SD Card that would operate in a specific application on a tablet.
- Since that added to their overheads, the organisation wanted to create a custom Learning Management System that would host their course content.
- In addition, they also had a lot of data on their students which they would use to manage the student workflow.
- Hence, they also wanted a platform that could help them simplify their workflow processes.
