What is Edvanza?

About

An e-learning platform that looks like LinkedIn at a glance — but everything pulls in one direction: learning, with a destination.

Every user tells Edvanza where they are today and where they want to be. From there the platform builds a personal career path — intermediate roles, the skills each one needs, the courses that teach them, and a realistic timeline. Learning stops being a random pile of courses and becomes a route on a map.

The Problem

Pain

Learners know what they want to become — but no one tells them how to get there.

Course platforms hand over a catalogue. Job boards show postings. LinkedIn shows finished careers, not the steps in between. A graphic designer dreaming of becoming a product designer ends up taking ten random Udemy courses, drifts for two years, and still can't say which role to apply for next.

The Solution

Personal Career Map

Two simple onboarding questions — where you are, where you want to be — and Edvanza builds the bridge between them as a sequence of role milestones and the courses that unlock each one.

Each step has its own skill requirements, course list, expected duration and a "you are here" marker. Community, mentorship and events all hang off this spine, so every interaction on the platform moves the learner one step further along the map.

My Role

Product Designer

Owned the product design end to end — from onboarding flow and career-map model through to the full mobile PWA shipped at edvanza.com.

The Approach

Process · 04 Stages

A deliberate four-stage process: research, model, design, ship.

01
Stage 01

Research

Talked to learners stuck between roles to understand why generic course platforms weren't getting them where they wanted to go.

02
Stage 02

Career Map Model

Designed the underlying model — current role, target role, intermediate milestones, courses per step and a realistic timeline.

03
Stage 03

Hi-Fi Mobile PWA

Built the full visual system and every screen — onboarding, dashboard, learning hub, community, profile — for a mobile-first PWA.

04
Stage 04

Ship & Iterate

Handed off to engineering, ran post-launch reviews, and iterated on the activation flow that drove the 2.3× lift.

Five Connected Modules

Modules · 05

Every module hangs off the career map spine.

01 / Career Map

Current role to target role

The spine. Pick where you are and where you want to be; Edvanza generates the intermediate roles, skills and timeline.

02 / Learning Path

Courses that map to roles

Every milestone is unlocked by specific courses from real universities — not a 10,000-course catalogue.

03 / Community

People walking the same path

Posts, topics and a network filtered by where you are on your journey, not a generic feed.

04 / Mentorship & Events

Guidance from people who got there

Mentors and events run by people one or two roles ahead, so users can see real paths play out.

05 / Profile

Proof the path is being walked

About, experience, education, certificates, skills, assessments and challenges in one living artefact.

The Dashboard

Hub

A single hub that branches to every part of the platform — Career Map, Jobs, Learning, Community, Mentorship — list-based, not card-based, because students are choosing the next thing to do, not browsing for novelty.

The Result

Outcome

Learners walked away from onboarding with a named path, not a catalogue — and the career map became the single moment users pointed to when explaining what made Edvanza different from "another LinkedIn". Activation jumped 2.3× during the pilot.
