Code Phénix is on a mission to facilitate the reintegration of inmates into active life by offering a diploma-granting front-end developer training program within the prison environment. This initiative aims to equip inmates with in-demand technical skills in the tech industry, thereby better preparing them for their reentry into society. By focusing on practical learning, Code Phénix aspires to promote the expertise of these future developers.

The main challenge lies in educating an audience that, due to the carceral setting, lacks access to the internet—a critical resource for web design and development. The task is to teach them to create a web platform that uses artificial intelligence to generate cover letters, a skill highly valuable in their upcoming job searches. The goal is to make the learning experience as tangible and interactive as possible, despite limited access to online resources.

To overcome this barrier, we developed a specific UI kit and designed a visual identity for the product crafted by the apprentice developers while incarcerated. The kit, designed to be intuitive and adaptable, allows users to grasp and apply fundamental design principles without requiring internet connectivity. Additionally, we introduced training on design processes used in agencies, exposing them to real-world work methodologies. This not only ensured a comprehensive educational experience but also prepared the inmates to effectively enter the job market upon their release.
