Purdue Cyber Apprenticeship Program

The Purdue Cyber Apprenticeship Program (PCAP) is an online cybersecurity skills assessment and career development portal. It’s a tool used by students, educators, and employers.

Challenge

Purdue University was launching a new program with the goal of placing cybersecurity student candidates in real world positions in the industry. Their program relied on an online portal that included a soft skills assessment test, a portfolio for showcasing their skills and career development to employers, and a leadership academy for building soft skills.

Concept

I used Purdue University’s brand guidelines and design system in the portal and collaborated with developers throughout each step of the user experience.
