Job Summary

We Want To Change The World. We Believe It Starts With Education. In India, 100 million children from low-income communities grow up without access to the 21st-century skills they need to thrive - from emotional intelligence and digital literacy to everyday money management. This gap leads to a lifetime of limited opportunity, intergenerational poverty, and rising mental health concerns.

What Are We Doing

India s classrooms are stuck in the past. We re building what kids need for the future.

At The Apprentice Project (TAP), we re rewriting the rules of learning - using AI to unlock deeply personalized, adaptive education for every child, no matter their background. Our flagship product, TAP Buddy, delivers learning through simple, accessible interfaces like WhatsApp - where design isn t just visual, it s experiential.

But for this to work, every interaction must feel intuitive, engaging, and human. Every message, flow, and visual must make sense to a student encountering this world for the first time.

That s where you come in.

As a Designer at TAP, you will shape how students experience learning - through conversations, visuals, and interactions that make education feel accessible, relatable, and exciting.

This isn t just design. It s experience-building for impact.

Who re Looking For

We re looking for someone at the start of their design journey - a builder in the making.

You re curious, detail-oriented, and excited to learn. You don t just think about how things look - you care about how they work, how they feel, and how they re understood by someone very different from you.

You re comfortable being in learning mode - asking questions, taking feedback seriously, and improving with every iteration. You enjoy structure, but you re also willing to experiment.



You re excited by the idea of designing for real users - especially students from underserved communities.

If you re someone who wants to build strong fundamentals, learn fast, and design with empathy - we want to meet you.
