About the Course

Design a User Experience for Social Good and Prepare for Jobs is the seventh and final 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. You’ll learn how to interview for entry-level UX design positions. You’ll get tips from Googlers based on their own interview experiences and their unique perspectives as hiring managers. 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 seven 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. - Interview for an entry-level UX design job. - 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....

This course was very helpful/useful. It was good preparation in pursuit of working in the field. Knowing how to design for users is one thing. Knowing how to navigate todays hiring process is another.

A great amount of work and very fulfilling when completed. I only have positive things to say about this course, although my rating of four stars is due to a couple of errors with questions grading I occurred during the quizzes. But all in all, a great and wonderful experience.

Very good instructors, very informative courses and relatively challenging and interesting projects. After some courses though, I believe the lessons became kind of repetitive and I felt like I wasn't learning something really new. Still...I enjoyed my stay!

It was interesting because I learned a lot of things and I liked the way they taught the topics. The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes they gave very little time to complete the activities and it was difficult to do them so quickly.

4 stars only because they removed the part about Adobe XD. Otherwise, I am satisfied The course is long and in some places very tiring. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and I was able to complete it in 10 months working in between.

This part of the course was challenging especially with building a website. Can Google do well to develop a templates for website development which is user friendly so we can publish from there too

Me gusto mucho la documentación del curso, y sus videos con los profesores pero me parecio una terrible experiencia el tema de los examenes obligatorios, y el tiempo que dan entre examen perdido.

There is no easy way to contact someone (instructor, for example) if needed via. email or phone. Instructor(s) should be available for help. Great course, whatsoever!

I enjoyed this course, but I wish the section on freelancing had been optional and not mandatory.

At the end of this particular course, the structure of the 5th and 6th-week syllabus was rushed.
