Skillcity Institute is excited to welcome Work Integrated Learning (WIL) students to collaborate on the Feasibility Study and Social Enterprise Business Model Development project. Committed to ensuring the students' success, Skillcity will provide dedicated staff time for supervision, fostering regular communication and collaboration. Supervision includes check-ins and feedback to guide project progress and maintain alignment with Skillcity's goals. Students will have access to organizational data, including our current business model and financials, facilitating in-depth analysis.

Moreover, we offer access to relevant software and tools, as well as orientation on relevant sectoral information, which will enhance the student's research and skill development. We hope that this support will enrich the student's learning experience and contribute to the creation of a high-quality final project.
