Over Dotpin<\/h4>\n

Dotpin is an innovative app for help with study choices. This help is important and badly needed: choosing wrongly has negative financial and mental consequences. And yet there is little help at hand: private tutoring is too expensive for most people and in high school there is usually too little time for study help. Our vision: by digitizing study help, it becomes accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n

The Dotpin app contains all recognized study programs at MBO, HBO and WO level, enabling pupils and students to broadly orientate on a suitable study. We do this because the new career landscape requires that broad vision: ‘the only way is up’ is no longer always desired or demanded. Today, a step aside or ‘down’ can also mean advancement if it allows you to achieve deepening and broadening of knowledge, to meet a demand from the labor market or to become more in line with your own interests and values.<\/p>\n

In addition to training, the app also offers career coaching questions, tests, skills, notes and exercises: all aimed at stimulating exploration and fostering intrinsic motivation. The UI\/UX design plays an important role in Dotpin and is based on the “Connecting the Dots” principle.<\/p>\n

The demand for help with study choices is present throughout the career. The fact that the profession ‘Student Advisor’ is ranked #6 on LinkedIn’s Jobs in Emergence 2022 top 1<\/a>5 shows this need well. However, we have chosen secondary education as our target market in this first phase of development.<\/p>\n
