“Immerse: Youth Employment”
About this Project:
Our app, Immerse: Youth Employment, is an app that will help teenagers around New York City find a job. Our app plans to make it easier for teenagers to find and apply for jobs. Allowing the app to scan around your area, Immerse: Youth Employment can find jobs that you can apply for and that fit perfectly with your age, that you put in when creating your account. When Immerse has found a job nearby that you can apply for, it will ask you if you would like to take a survey.
Our app will give information about that workplace, for example, the phone number, address, the positions you can apply for, and much more. After you have taken the survey, the survey will be sent to the manager and in a few days our app will send you an email or message if you got the job or not.

Feedback from the Judges:
While the log in screen made Immerse feel a little more real, it seems like the screens to see job opportunities and get more information is more central to Immerse's goal. In the future, I want to encourage to start with the most important part of a design, instead of starting with the log in screen because it's what people see first. That will help you bring your ideas to life even faster! However, you did a great job explaining Immerse in a concise manner that gets to the value quickly. Your screens, with the color scheme and logo, still do that extra legwork of making Immerse feel that much more real. Great work! Excited to see what you all build in the future.
I would love to better understand what kind of jobs might be listed on here, how Immerse gets potential employers to list on the app, if those employers might want to interview teens before hiring them. In the "skills" section it might be helpful to have a few standard skills already listed that employers of teens look. This way users can simply select the ones they have making it easier for both the teen and the potential employer ...... This app has so much potential to make a positive impact on young folks ability to earn and confidence in themselves. I hope you keep developing it!
