SCOOL Check is Shinhan Banks self-assessment and competency evaluation tool, created as a strategic extension of SCOOL, the mobile learning platform that transformed corporate training across the organization.

The goal was simple but high-stakes: make mandatory skill evaluations feel motivating, approachable, and worth returning to.

By blending familiar Korean app interaction patterns, interactive coding practice, and clear progress visualizations, SCOOL Check gave employees a transparent, empowering view of their capabilities. What had once been a compliance exercise became a framework employees trusted and one that other organizations within Shinhan Financial Group quickly adopted.

Results

Shifted competency evaluations from a compliance requirement to an engaging, repeat-use tool

Established a new standard for digital skill measurement in Korea’s financial industry

Inspired adoption by multiple organizations within Shinhan Financial Group and beyond

Proved that even competency evaluations could be something employees look forward to.

My contributions

Designed a seamless, web-based UX integrating skill testing, progress tracking, and coding practice

Delivered interactive visualizations that made strengths and gaps instantly clear

Integrated real-time feedback loops for both employees and supervisors

Elevated SCOOL Check into an industry benchmark for employee digital competency
