In Short
Graduating from your study might be as hard as it is already. But on top of that, students need to think about their next steps; do they want to continue with another study? Do they want to start working? And what type of career do they even want? Making well-informed decisions about your career can be hard when you do not know where to start. There are so many resources, information and other supportive options available but how do you make sense of it all?
Expedition Career is a embodied boardgame designed for Industrial Design graduation students. It is aimed at creating a supportive tool for students to use and get to know what options, actions and resources are available to them during their graduation processes and after. The game lets you explore different areas of Career Island that are a reflection of real world resources and activities students could use and do. Through playing, students can gain a better understanding of what is possible and what they might need to figure out ‘what is next?’. It enables a fun, interactive and informative experience that can inspire and support them in their own unique developmental journey that we call life.
