About the Course

Design a User Experience for Social Good and Prepare for Jobs is the seventh course in a program that will equip you with the skills you need to become an entry-level UX designer. In this course, you will design a dedicated mobile app and a responsive website focused on social good. You will showcase all that you’ve learned during the certificate program to complete the design process from beginning to end: empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes and prototypes, and testing designs to get feedback. By the end of this course, you will have a new cross-platform design project to include in your professional UX portfolio. This course will also prepare you to land your first job as a UX designer. And, you’ll polish the professional UX portfolio you’ve been building throughout the program so that it’s ready for job applications. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Apply each step of the UX design process (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) to create designs focused on social good. - Identify the differences between dedicated mobile apps and responsive web apps. - Understand progressive enhancement and graceful degradation approaches for designing across devices. - Build wireframes, mockups, and low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes. - Add a new design project to your professional UX portfolio. - Create your portfolio of design work for job applications. - Join and participate in online UX communities. - Determine if freelance design work is a good career fit for you. - Learn AI skills from Google experts to help complete UX design tasks. This course is suitable for beginner-level UX designers who have completed the previous six courses of the Google UX Design Certificate....

the best course I've taken in my life. Even as an experienced designer (with 2 years) there was a lot to learn for fundamentals and best practices. Differently recommend for entry to mid-level.

You're not going to be able to get a job right out of the program, it's not as good as a college education, but it's great, affordable, and a wonderful start. I would absolutely take it again.

I like the course and the objectives, but I enrolled in this program for a number of very specific reasons, not the least of which are the agreements, which I read on this site, that Google has with Canadian companies to give those who successfully certify an opportunity. The second, which is naturally assumed as part and parcel with the first, is gaining access to the job board so jobs can be applied to after certifying. But somehow, in a User Experience program, where there is a supposed dearth of qualified UX designers, and where the advertising leads one to believe that Canadians are included, Canadians are in fact, not. Super disappointing

A lot of repetitive information from the previous parts. The course parts should bee re-worked to have more value.
