Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The main goal of the project is to create a monthly communications piece that is filled with valuable stories and information resources to support clients’ journeys towards upward economic mobility.
This is a key communication strategy to remind stakeholders about the importance of Skillcity Institute's work and to demonstrate that Skillcity is deserving of a person’s time (potential volunteers) and or money (funders).
The project also aims to build a community around key issues and trends relating to Skillcity's mandate to design innovative solutions to close the skills and economic gap for equity-deserving groups.
Some of the content could include industry trends, new developments in STEM, the evolving landscape of work in the 21st century, scholarships, Neurodiversity in Education and industry, hackathons, etc. The challenge is developing the structure, detailed content, and ensuring that the content is relevant and of interest to our audience.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
- Develop a well-researched cost-effective strategy for the Newsletter
- Create an annual editorial schedule and set up a process of inviting guest authors to contribute to the newsletter
- Follow up on leads for guest authors, invited to contribute to ensure submission dates are met
