A multilingual assessment portal was created to help welders evaluate credentials and access certification pathways across Canada—supporting English, French, and Ukrainian with a fully accessible,user-first design.
The Challenge
CWB needed a centralized, user-friendly platform that could assess welding credentials, support multiple languages, and guide users toward certification and employment. The challenge was to build a robust, scalable solution that met technical, linguistic, and accessibility standards.

Our Approach
Skylar Media laid the strategic and technical foundation for the portal, focusing on user journeys, CMS integration, and AODA compliance. We later redesigned and relaunched the platform to enhance usability and accessibility—supporting English, French, and Ukrainian. A key challenge was integrating complex, multilingual assessment tools, which required meticulous planning and execution. The result: a seamless, intuitive experience for welders of all backgrounds and skill levels.
The Solution
We delivered a comprehensive assessment portal that enables welders to evaluate their credentials and access certification pathways. The platform features a robust quiz engine, multilingual support, and a user-first design—ensuring accessibility and clarity at every step.

Skylar has been a trusted partner for CWB, providing valuable insights and best practices that have driven the success of our recruitment campaigns and the development of our assessment portal. Their strategic recommendations and data-driven approach have been integral in helping us reach our target audiences effectively. The team at Skylar always goes above and beyond, offering guidance and solutions that keep our initiatives aligned with industry standards and ahead of the curve.
