Research included surveys, one-on-one interviews, screen recordings, and site analytics review.
“One of the things I really appreciate about this website is how it’s laid out with the direct link between this job … and these are the educational pathways that can get you there, with the links to specific colleges in Vermont that offer programs. That, to me, is the level of connecting the dots that is really, really helpful for someone in my role.”
