SkilloVilla is an online platform offering industry-focused courses designed to boost skills and ensure job readiness. Through live classes, mentorship from top professionals, and comprehensive career support including resume building and interview preparation. SkilloVilla bridges the gap between learning and earning. With partnerships across 300+ companies, a strong track record of high placements, and competitive salary packages, the platform equips learners with practical problem-solving skills across various fields.

As part of enhancing the post-learning experience, I designed a job portal aimed at helping students explore relevant job opportunities after completing their courses. Our objective was to create an intuitive and user-friendly interface that connects upskilling with job placement, enhancing the overall career-building journey for users.

In this project, we redesigned the Masterclass landing page to optimize conversions. The goal was to reduce customer acquisition costs (CAC) and attract higher-quality leads through paid advertising, improving the overall efficiency of our lead generation process.

Though the company provides placement assistance to our students, we found that it is equally important for them to have direct access to job opportunities in the broader market. During the discovery phase, we engaged with students to better understand their experiences and challenges in finding relevant job openings after completing their courses. Many students relied on external websites or waited for the Placement Training team to share job leads, leading to inefficiencies and delays. This highlighted the need for a more streamlined approach, integrating a job portal within the platform so students could independently explore market opportunities while still benefiting from the company’s placement support.

Through the job portal project, I deepened my understanding of designing for scalability and integrating user flows within an existing ecosystem, like a learning management system. I honed skills in translating user research into actionable insights, ensuring the portal addressed both user pain points and business objectives.

Additionally, I learned to balance functionality and simplicity by implementing user-friendly filtering options, seamless application processes, and intuitive navigation, all while ensuring the technical feasibility of integrating with external job boards. Collaboration with product managers and engineers also reinforced the value of cross-functional teamwork in driving efficient, solution-oriented sprints.
