The document discusses prototypes for helping college students gain job experience.
Prototype 1 involves a mobile application that answers all job-related questions. Prototype 2 involves companies paying students to complete homework assignments related to real work tasks. By testing the prototypes with students, the author learned it is important to test ideas with the target group before investing, as their feedback can help refine or reevaluate the original concept. Going forward, the author proposes developing a digital library of company process manuals that students without experience could reference for fast answers to specific questions, similar to an industry-focused search engine.
