Sold out

With visual trends always coming and going, you need to keep your designers equipped with the latest skills to stay current. ("The '90s called—they want their gradients and drop shadows back.")

The problem is that most design courses and books tend to be boring and siloed, ruining any motivation to learn and improve.

If only there was an engaging platform where teams could learn and grow together to build great products and delightful user experiences.

Meet Uxcel.

Get access to more than a hundred lessons on UX/UI design topics, including top-tier content from famous design companies.

Your designers will be able to immerse themselves in micro-courses that offer a deep dive into each topic, so they learn and understand what matters most.

Best of all, each course is completed by taking an interactive test built for the design program to keep students motivated.

Q: Hello, I like your platform.

I did read the questions posted by other sumolings, but please help me with a few more things.

1. If a team member got a certification, and then leaves the company or it is removed from my account, then
- their course completion certificate will remain valid?
- they can have their own uxcel account?

I believe that it is important for team members to know that their education progress can be shared on their Linkedin account even if they change the employer.

2. Jobs board is free to use for all members, companies or designers?

Thank you,
Dan

A: Hi Dan,
1. Yes, the progress will be saved together with all achievements. If the team member was on the company email and then left the company, they can request an email change with no harm to the progress.
2. Yes, the job board is free for all users now. For companies, it's a paid add-on (heads-up, very soon we'll add some free job postings to each tier)
Also, we are making some adjustments to allow team admins to control job and career-related functionality visibility. To help handle concerns about advertising jobs to team members.

Q: Your courses and platform look great :) I do have a major concern though, I see that you are now offering a ...

job board and advertising that there is a talent pool of 80k designers. Which sounds like the entire pool of designers on your platform?

What I want to know is, is this feature completely isolated from our team employees?

As in, our employees will never receive emails about this feature, or have it visible or available to them in any way?

If not, it would be a huge issue. I have had to cancel using Hubstaff (time tracking) in the past due to practices like this (advertising Hubstaff talent to our employees). Which was a huge breach of trust for a paid service.

Obviously it would be a really big issue for us to onboard our team, then have any features that encourage employees to find a different job. Investing in upskilling our employees only to be adding them to a job seeker pool would be extremely counter productive.

Honestly, having the feature at all is a conflict of interest in my opinion. I was quite sure about buying before seeing this and disappointed that this is likely a deal breaker.

Most enterprises and large businesses have robust protections in place to prevent head hunters from calling and contacting their employees through official lines of communication and other vectors. None would want to serve up their employees on a silver platter to other employers. Directly or indirectly. I think if you ask for feedback from companies in your target market, you will find this to be overwhelmingly true.

Purchasing this would be a no-brainer otherwise. In my opinion you can either be a paid upskilling service or a job seeker platform, not both.

A: Hi Misty, thank you for such detailed feedback.
We understand your concern, and it is something that we are looking at right now. Since the job board and career piece were just introduced — the main goal is to help individual designers(free and Pro individual plans) advance their careers.
We're right now planning and deciding how to treat career functionality for the team users. For day 1, we'll probably hide Job board and all related announcements for all team users except admins. And later, we're considering putting this under team workspace settings and letting team admins decide.
If you decide to onboard your team, please get in touch with our support to hide the Job board from your team members.
Again, thank you for raising this. Your feedback will help us improve our Team offering.

On a side note, I'm a believer in investing in team education, and the point of view is well written in this article.

I would love to hear your thoughts on that!
