What the pilot will test

A focused first step toward progressive practical experience.

The pilot is intended to test mission design, supervision, student progression, experience verification and partner feedback before broader implementation.

Mission quality

Can real organisational needs be converted into useful, time-limited and measurable student projects?

Student progression

Can students move from introductory tasks toward greater independence and responsibility?

Supervision

Can organisations provide practical guidance and structured feedback without running a full internship programme?

Experience verification

Can completed tasks, deliverables, hours and demonstrated skills be documented consistently?
