Sofia is a talented graduating student with a master's degree from a top business school in France and experience in digital companies. However, she lacks information about career opportunities in fields like digital media and social business and may choose a conventional job out of uncertainty. Two prototype ideas were proposed to address this problem. The first was a grant system to fund internships for students at social and digital startups, which would benefit both students and resource-constrained startups. The second was a crowdsourced website detailing jobs, opportunities, and career examples in social and digital fields to help connect students and startups. Feedback noted the benefits of both ideas in opening minds and facilitating communication, but improvements were needed around long

Sofia, A young and talented graduating student with a master in the leading business school in France, Passionnated by different fields of activities, With one year of experience and 2 internships in digital companies. Because: She is going to choose an 束 regular 損 job in a consultancy firm just because she lacks information and contacts and thinks with misconcepts. Needs a way to : Know/discover/be aware/be informed of all the job opportunities and entrepreneurial possibilities in the fields that she is interested in (digital media and social business) PROBLEM STATMENT
Prototype1 Idea : a system of grants for students that want to do an internships in the social entrepreneurship or digital fields. Pbm: digital start-ups/ social start-ups dont have enough resources to finance internships but they need interns + when they hire, they want to be sure of their choic + students are very interested to discover these fields but cannon work for free. Solution : create a fund that give grants to students and young graduates to finance 6-month internships *Selection of the firms that can have these interns for free: defining criteria for the firms (activity, maturity, field, etc.) *Selection of the students: real motivation to pursue in this field, added value, end report to capitalize *Financing: creating a foundation financed by the school, the graduates from the school, successful entrepreneurs, etc. Feedbacks: What worked: *Help both entrepreneurs/start- ups and students *Open the mind of the students *Discovering by experimenting in real on a short term commitment What could be improved: *How to help interns pursue in this career after *How the school manage the scheme with little resources Questions: *Need to precise the financing part *Part of the curriculum ? Ideas: *Be transversal to several schools
Prototype 2 Idea : a up-to-date and crowdsourced website dedicated tojob opportunities and evolutions in the social and digital fields. Pbm: many students want to discover the social/digital fields during internships or for their first job but they dont know all the opportunities + start-ups in these fields have few resources and lack time to communicate but they need young graduates to develop their project Solution : the website Rubrics: projects/start-ups/firms in these fields, job opportunities, applicant profiles, entrepreneurs looking for associates, examples of career, news, etc. Contributors: each contributor has a profile: entrepreneurs, start-ups, candidates, schools, etc; and can contribute in the proper rubric Monitoring: some volunteers monitor the website Service: design a software that translate job experiences into skills and can then match profiles with jobs Feedbacks: What worked: *Centralization of the content *Different kinds of contributors *Wide review of these fields *Open the mind of the students *Facilitate the communication work for the start-ups What could be improved: *Definition of the content *Definition of the software: good idea that need to be deepen Questions: *Is volunteer monitoring possible? *Who is financing the website? Ideas: *Create the website within an existing structure (public agency for instance)
Personal reflexions What I have learnt? Prototyping is not so easy, you really have to dive in the project to think first about the global system and then about all the details because thats where people are going to ask questions. Talking with people is essential as they ask questions that you wouldnt have thought of. Prototyping is an art, because you need to find the right balance between building a useful prototype to learn staying simple and quick. To start prototyping is essential to gain time, otherwise you can stay a long time thinking and studying what you are going to do without doing anything How to pursue these projects? Continuing meeting people and talking about these ideas all the time to keep on improving the idea. How to start a real prototype? Difficult because we need time for that The Idea 2 is maybe easier to put in practice in a easy way, starting with a blog for instance.
