The implementation plan was multi-faceted. First, program design and curriculum development was carried out through targeted training (developing specialized bootcamps such as Data Science, AI, and Data Engineering) and skills tracks (courses designed for diverse learners). Second, delivery methodology. This was done through running classes online, personalized mentorship programs, and hands-on portfolio projects mirroring real-world challenges. Third, outreach and inclusivity, with a focus on diversity and affordability. Fourth, industry partnerships and placements, which was done by collaborating with corporate clients, startups, and government organizations, and providing soft skills training and resume-building workshops to enhance employability. Fifth, continuous improvement, to ensure feedback and improve based on that.
