The design process began with extensive research on barriers faced by non-native English speakers and professional year students entering the job market. Collaboration between Getmee, Ominio, and DaCodes included interviews with educators, students, and employers, resulting in a user-centred framework based on three pillars: clarity, usability, and outcomes.
Soft Skills Ready was designed with an engaging homepage offering “Learning Journey,” “Specify Your Own,” and “Random Scenario” pathways. Each scenario is driven by the SofIA avatar chatbot, offering structured roleplays, feedback loops, and emotion detection. The design supports role reversals, adaptive tone control, and visual learning tools such as completion badges and XP points. Interview Ready™ uses AI to simulate real job interviews, integrating STAR methodology, behavioral and technical questions, and alternative AI-generated responses. It delivers real-time diagnostics covering tone, speed, filler words, and sentiment.
Each session ends with a unique Interview Ready score benchmarked against the market. Communication Ready focuses on pronunciation, clarity, and energy. Features include mouth movement animations, speech speed tracking, and vocabulary flashcards for visual learners. These tools replicate Google-style pronunciation aids but enhance them with learner-specific feedback. Visual UI was developed iteratively via Figma prototypes and field-tested for accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and multicultural usability. A screen recording demo and an 87% approval rate from early users confirm the design’s usability and impact.
