City of Boston Youth Jobs App
The City of Boston asked MAPC to create an application that would facilitate the disconnected process of hiring for their summer youth employment program. This internal-facing application would be utilized by three user groups: city employees, youth looking for employment, and community partners hiring youth. The application interface and functionality would change depending on the userCity employees and community partners would be able to track and maintain lists of applicants. Teens looking for employment could view the status of their applications online as well as search for jobs according to their interests and location. The system also allowed youths to receive text messages regarding their employment status, improving the experience for the target audience. The branding of the application was based off the City of Boston’s existing identity with a fun twist.
