About the Project
Background
Our client is an award-winning Ed-Tech startup based in Canada that aids international students and newcomers in launching successful careers within 15 weeks.
Their mission is to empower students to achieve their dream jobs. So leadership recognized that they needed a robust web solution that’s like a career-launching toolkit. They want to build a platform combining Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) and AI-powered resume builders.
It’s an all-encompassing platform that empowers students to learn virtually, craft captivating resumes, construct profiles, and join in career-elevating events.
The startup did not have a development team. So, they collaborated with Technext to develop the MVP.
The Vision
The startup aims to streamline international students’ and newcomers’ career launch journeys by providing them with a comprehensive AI-powered platform.
The Canadian educational technology industry is worth around 2 billion and has experienced continuous growth since the last decade. While several ed-tech businesses provide mainstream services, no companies provide tailored services to foreign students.
The startup founders realized the market gap and want to help international students and newcomers prepare for the market through their platform.
Business Challenges Solved
- Career Transition Support: The platform aids international students in swiftly adapting to new career landscapes through targeted courses and resources, streamlining the often challenging transition process.
- Resume/CV Enhancement: AI-driven tools refine resumes, helping users create professional documents tailored to their target job markets, mitigating challenges associated with cultural differences in formatting and content.
- Objective Evaluation: AI CV scoring provides users with an unbiased assessment, overcoming subjective biases in traditional screening processes and offering clear insights into how well their CV aligns with industry expectations.
- Tailored Learning Paths: The digital learning platform offers courses designed specifically for international students, addressing the challenge of finding relevant and tailored educational resources that cater to their unique needs.

Service Process
Technext had several meetings with the client before starting the project. During these meetings, we identified that the client needed a tailor-made web application solution.
We created a Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and presented various engagement options to the client. The client chose a fixed-price model and opted for the custom web application development service.
Design Process
The design process began with establishing the design objectives and refining the functionalities of the SES. Since the project is more than a conventional ed-tech platform, we had to cover all the features while providing a good user experience.
Design Challenges
We encountered certain design challenges, with one of the key issues being:
Project in Details
The ed-tech platform was developed based on the specific requirements outlined by the startup founders. It features various modules tailored to cater to the diverse needs of international students, and the integration of AI enhances the usability of the solution.
LMS Module
The Learning Management System (LMS) is a central hub for education, management courses, and seamless delivery of multimedia content to create an enjoyable learning experience.
Moreover, the LMS comes with advanced filters based on skills, preferences, and course categories. This allows users to personalize their learning journey. Additionally, there’s a special section for featured courses, giving prominence to selected courses on the platform.
Student Profile and Portfolio
A student profile and portfolio feature that lets individuals present their achievements and projects. Think of it as crafting a digital canvas where students can creatively exhibit their academic and extracurricular successes, forming an engaging gallery of accomplishments.
AI-Powered Resume Builder
Unlike other AI-powered CV makers that prioritize speed and generate generic resumes, the resume builder we created is designed to assist students in crafting personalized resumes tailored to their data and industry requirements.
Leveraging Open AI Da Vinci and fine-tuned with guidance from professional career coaches, this advanced resume builder empowers students to create compelling and customized resumes that stand out in the competitive job market.
AI-Powered Resume Scorer
We also created a resume scorer that allows students to evaluate the quality of their resumes. It utilizes a custom scoring algorithm and leverages the capabilities of the OpenAI GPT-3.5 model, Da Vinci, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of the scoring process.
Job Board with Precision Job Matching
The system also has a job board module with a precision job-matching feature. We implemented advanced NLP, surpassing traditional keyword matching. This intelligent system evaluates candidates’ skills, aspirations, and interests to present a carefully curated list of job opportunities.
