SWISS-SKILLS
CONNECT
An award-winning digital live experience. A stopgap solution (because of Covid) became an industry innovation as Switzerland’s first digital live career experience for young adults. With Swiss-Skills Connect, thousands of students participated in over 270 moderated live talks. Furthermore, 202 career profiles were created and contributed to a long-term and sustainable platform.

3-Day Design Sprint
In this short video, I'll take you through a 3-day process that empowered us to take a 120.000 people event to a digital live experience in four months.
The biggest challenges were getting fast alignment among different stakeholder groups and ensuring we would build something desirable & valuable to the audience.
At the end of the three days, we had answers, a validated solution and uncovered questions.
Why I love this project
HUMAN-CENTERED FROM BEGINNING
It took off with a 3-day design sprint which involved relevant stakeholders and users. It enabled a direction and foundation for the successful end result.
MEANINGFUL & SOLUTION
Supporting young adults in making the “first" step” towards their professional careers felt rewarding. Furthermore, a long-term solution was created with the digital platform as a source of inspiration. And, of course, being honoured at Best of Swiss Web 2021 is sweet, too.
A BLUEPRINT FOR OTHERS
The concept is available to other regional career fairs for adaptation. The Berne Area Vocational Fair (BAM) is already working on the implementation based on the Swiss-Skills Connect Blueprint.
