The Target AudiencePeople who are going into a new career.

Primarily this is graduate students and people wanting a sea change.

The Future of Work

How it will Change the WorldNo More Mad Men will make moving into a new career much less stressful and an activity of mutual bene�t. It will enable members to be more employable and feel more valued in the community.

This will mean that job cuts are no longer feared, creat-ing a more competetitive work force, increasing the speed of innovation and creating more employee sup-port.

Every generation has more careers in their lives that the one before.

There are crowd sourcing websites popping up all over the place. The future of the way we work is in highly specialised, short term, mobile jobs. We will be work-ing with employers for hours, not years.

New careers are being created every year, resulting in an uber �exible workforce that relies more on continu-ous learning than repetition.

What is Next

Testing

Web Building

Activating

Testing the network system on the target market. Both at university and externally on strangers. Many itera-tions of the system will be created, resulting in a �nely tuned result at the end of the year.

The network will be built into a website with the help of a web developer. This will also be user tested. A working mock up will be created, enabling users to test the program and add suggestions for changes.

The �nal product will be a working mock up, to be dis-played at the exhibition. Ideally it will interact with Facebook and LinkeIn and be a fully functioning plat-form, at a prototyping level.
