Abstract
The purpose of this study is to propose the Design Science Research (DSR)'s phases of problem identification and solution development for the development of a mobile application for career transition assistance. The application aims to connect dismissed employees to potential transitional careers. As a result, the requirements are gathered through interviews with an Outplacement & Career Transition consultant, a downsizing employer, and an impacted employee using Qualitative Research Methodology. The mobile application could help outplaced people by identifying their current skill sets, listing potential careers ranked by skill gaps, and connecting them to resources to close those gaps. Contributing to the body of knowledge within a pragmatic research paradigm by developing a set of designed career transition principles. Researchers will benefit from the established model of career transition requirements, whereas practitioners, such as software developers, will be able to apply these findings to further develop the mobile application. Employers, employees, and consulting firms will all benefit from this identified requirement once the application is developed appropriately.
