Product Development

My product development
experience includes the design and development of career resource
publications and desktop and web software applications, including
career information delivery systems.
SkillsMatch, for example,
was an interactive software program I designed to assist individuals
with their skills assessment, career exploration, and job search
activities. It was developed in association with the California
Employment Development
Department and the U.S. Department of Labor to serve dislocated (laid-off)
workers at sites such as The Boeing Company (in Long Beach,
California) and McClellan AFB (in Sacramento, California).
I developed the first comprehensive,
regional training directory in California so that students and job seekers alike
could see and compare their postsecondary education and training options. From this experience,
I played a key role in the design of the Enhanced State Training
Inventory for California.
The
Skill Matrix Network was an online resource directory I developed as part of a demonstration project to identify skill gaps in
the high-tech labor market and to provide free skills assessments to career
explorers and job seekers.
I developed the Career Pathways Handbook as a first-of-its-kind
resource that combined the best elements of occupational resource and
career exploration content with "real people" and career pathways
content.
CareerDNA is a new online, interactive career discovery and
assessment tool based on the 30-year practice of Dr. Brian Schwartz, a
psychologist and leading career development professional. I not only
played a major role in the design of the CareerDNA tool, but I was
responsible for the content development of the occupational taxonomy
and all related career material, including the utilization of O*NET
"intelligence" data. My Car eerDNA
work also includes helping to develop next-generation talent
management solutions to help organizations meet their workforce
challenges. Look for great things from
CareerDNA and
TalentDNA!
