Reflection - Learning Launch 

 Challenge and Selection 

 I chose to use the Learning Launch tool to help in providing a solution to young   university students desiring to find out their purpose and living it out through campus   and once they leave college . There has been a challenge of most university students   leaving campus and having no idea what to do and especially when they do n’t get jobs   soon after leaving campus . There was a feeling that there is need to create a platform for   them to prepare them for life after campus whether they got employed or ventured into   businesses .   My team and I thought of starting a programme / mentorship program to   provide a holistic approach to life from campus and into the world because we realized   the curriculum in university did not provide for much life skill training . We used this   tool because we needed the students input to come up with a program that serves and   meets their need . 

 Application 

 We started the process by approaching the management team of the 4 campuses we   wanted to work with on the idea and they gave us a go ahead to share our   questionnaires with the students asking them to share their views on what they felt   were some of the things they would like to know or learn that may help them step   confidently into the ‘ world ’ after campus . The questions were open - ended to allow them   freedom to give all responses they felt were relevant to their needs . We wanted to find   out where their pain points were .   Their responses were varied from spiritual   development , networking , financial development , and relationships , personal and   professional development . Others needed guidance on personal , professional and even   leadership development .   We also wanted to know if they would be willing to pay for the   program and how frequent they would like the training to be held . The frequency   needed to align with their school timetable since not all students lived in the same   city / town as the campus and if the program extended beyond the school term , it would   inconvenience some of these students . The questionnaires were given to a total of 400   students from the 4 campuses we had approached and we required the responses in 2   days . 

 Insight and Approach 

 After receiving the responses from the students , we went through them compiling the   feedback in an exercise to find out if the responses aligned with our assumptions at the   start of the process . To a larger extent , the responses aligned with our assumptions and 

 what did not align we shelved for future use / improvement . Their views and suggestions   were then compiled and we used it to prepare training modules based on the   subjects / topics shared by the students . We were able to develop a 10 - week programme   that covered topics that were very relevant to the students and meeting their need of   life skills development . Class attendance was once a week on a Saturday and the first   season classes were offered for free as a test . We had 250 students in attendance for   Season 1 . The subsequent seasons have seen a growth in student numbers and we have   introduced an affordable fee to cater for snacks and the certification . We added the   certification because the students needed a document to show their participation in the   program . We also chose a central venue that was easily accessible to all the attendees   coming for the training . 

 One of the lessons learned from this process is that the best way to provide relevant and   workable solutions to your audience / customers is to incorporate their views and   concerns while developing a solution for them because they are co - creators in the   process . Listen to their views and concerns as well and convert the information into a   solution . The clients are also willing and happy to be included in the process and they   take up ownership of the process . 

 We also appreciated those who did not agree with our assumptions and their concerns   have been noted and we look forward to use them for further development of the   current program or even use them to develop something new .
