Facilitate the transition of design students into the world of work by connecting them with experienced mentors who can guide and prepare them for their first steps in the industry.
Solution: Mentor App is a platform that connects design students with industry professionals willing to offer guidance, share experiences and provide resources for skills development. The app includes features such as the creation of personalised profiles, a matching system between students and mentors based on interests and areas of expertise, and resources for preparing portfolios and interviews. Mentor App aims to bridge the gap between academia and the world of work by offering students direct access to real-time advice and support.
Methodology: Design Thinking
It is a human-centred methodology used to address complex problems and develop innovative solutions. It is based on the idea that by deeply understanding the needs, desires and behaviours of the people for whom a product or service is intended, more effective, user-centred solutions can be created.
The ‘Double Diamond’ is a conceptual model used in the Design Thinking process to structure and visualise the stages of user-centred design. It is graphically represented as two overlapping diamonds, with each diamond representing a phase of the design process.
