CareerOneStop Wins Prestigious Tekne Award

by J Hruby, Director of Marketing

A project for which Fredrickson provided usability and user-centered design support has won a Tekne Award. Fredrickson’s John Wooden provided a series of usability and user-centered design classes to key members of the CareerOneStop redesign team to help them during the redesign process.

From the Techne Awards program:
Under the guidance of Program Director Mike Ellsworth, the state of Minnesota’s Department of Employment & Economic Development and Minnesota State Colleges & Universities collaborated to redevelop CareerOneStop.org, integrating a new web content management system, a web site search engine and a new information architecture and taxonomy. CareerOneStop.org, a U.S. Department of Labor-sponsored website, offers career resources and workforce information to various audiences including job seekers, workforce counselors, employers, and economic developers. The site is now the premier source for career information, with a greater breadth of data than any other public or private site. It offers much of its information and services for integration into other web sites through Web Services. CareerOneStop.org serves more than 24 million unique visitors each year and its new look has garnered mentions by ABC News as well as financial commentator, Suze Orman.

The Star Tribune published a complete list of the 2009 Techne Award winners. Fredrickson is very proud to have contributed to this project’s success.
