Details

Skillcity Institute provides essential skills training programs and workforce development services. We seek support to design a new online training course with a bold curriculum that will lead to a recognized certificate. To make training more convenient, we hope to transform our training programs into online courses. The course outline will be provided to students.

We would like to work with students to determine what features, content, and materials should be included in the online training course. Based on this information, students can then recommend the platform that would be most suitable.

Tasks include:

  • Gathering relevant course design and content information from interviews / surveys with key stakeholders.
  • Researching options for our online training platform.
  • Assessing existing online training platforms and recommending the best platform for our course.
  • Reviewing our existing training material and making recommendations.
  • Assisting in designing the course and revising training material.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our company’s training programs
  • Understanding of possible online training platforms
  • Evaluation of options and recommendations for the best platform

Bonus steps would include:

  • Reviewing our training material and suggesting areas for improvement

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report on the decision-making process and associated costs.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our products and services
  • Our current training programs
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
