LabourNet Capstone Project
The Capstone Project is an attempt at getting college students involved in getting their hands dirty to solve real word problems. Designed as a hybrid fellowship, the project gives students access to the rigorous practical experience of working in a high-impact organizations. The project serves as a culminating experience where students meld their varied college experiences to drive impact at the ground. It offers them an opportunity to learn from industry experts and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders.
LabourNet started its flagship Capstone Project as a response to two needs. The first was the considerable gap between classroom education and prevailing job contexts, which is making it increasingly hard for graduate students to find employment. The second was the growing need for skilled youth in the development sector, bringing with them new ideas and increased vigor to solve social problems.
The Capstone Project provides students with a chance to step outside their classroom and hone their technical and soft skills by working on real-time projects. It offers them the ability to put their managerial and leadership abilities into practice and understand decision-making in a professional setting.
