Project Requests

The curriculum for the fall semester of St. Charles County CAPS is facilitated by our instructors through relevant problem-based projects provided by business partners.  This provides our CAPS associates with relevant industry experience through a professional environment.

Do you have a project that is not mission critical?  Or maybe a project on the bottom of your list that you haven’t had the time or manpower to tackle?  CAPS associates can work on your project at no cost.

To get started, complete a project request form.  Tell us what needs you have and the CAPS instructor will work to match your project with qualified CAPS associates.  Our CAPS associates will work in a team on the project with guidance and support from the CAPS instructor and mentors, and you will be the client.  As the client, you will need to meet with the CAPS team assigned to your project regarding progress and provide feedback after the project completion.

Having CAPS associates engaging in client projects is key to the program model.  We want our CAPS associate to solve real problems with industry tools, while being mentored by real employers.  We want to develop our CAPS associates’ professional skills – communication, collaboration/teamwork, time management, project management, critical thinking, creativity, and professionalism.  One of the best ways to improve these skills is through client projects.
