In Australia, the rate of people with disability in paid employment hasn’t changed in almost 30 years.
This was the catalyst for Get Skilled Access to disrupt the employment space by building a ground-breaking, accessible job platform called the Field. The aim – to provide more opportunities for people with disability to find meaningful roles and careers.
Kiandra was approached to assist in developing the solution, with the initial task to create a proof of concept. As a Design Consultant at Kiandra, I was set with the challenge to craft the overall design language for the Field.
The design process involved close collaboration with the Get Skilled Access team, ensuring we not only understood what we were building, but why. In my role as a Design Consultant, I led a number of activities that would help us achieve this goal.
To begin with, I facilitated design discovery workshops to uncover the Field's needs and wants.
Using these insights, I developed high-fidelity concepts for their home and dashboard pages. These were then applied to the proof of concept and presented to the board at Get Skilled Access.
The proof of concept was well received, with Kiandra commissioned to build out the full solution, the field.jobs.
In 2023, Kiandra won the CRN Australia Impact Awards for 2023 in the Customer Experience category. This award recognised the combined effort between Kiandra and the Field.jobs in creating a job platform designed to connect people with disabilities to employers.
