The Skilled Life
Working with Fjord Marketing and Technology, ADGi developed the strategy, information architecture and interaction design for this youth-focused site aimed at getting young people to consider trades as an option after high school. The site uses a tag-based search that allows students to enter self-descriptive terms (e.g. creative, outdoorsy) rather than trade-descriptive terms (automotive) to find trades that match those descriptions. The idea is that since many young people do not know what they want to do after high-school nor have the trade-centered vocabulary to meaningfully search using trade-descriptive terms, using self-descriptive terms will not only help them search more easily but will help them understand trades using their own vernacular. By allowing users to enter tags about each trade we also create a site that allows young people to express themselves with regards the subject matter but without the usual risks of user-generated content (e.g. profanity).
Initial work was followed up by usability testing of the site at a Vancouver high school. The user response to the site and tag-based search was overwhelmingly positive.
