  Unfortunately, our experience with this project was well below expectations. The UVAA/DTTP team did not provide student profiles, résumés, or skills information before the start of the program, which meant we could not plan or assign work effectively. As a result, we lost almost an entire week of valuable project time before meaningful work began.
In addition, there were multiple instances of unprofessional behaviour from the majority of team members—several did not show up to agreed meetings without notice, and one participant was openly rude and unprofessional in his communications. While a small number of learners (notably Sonashree and Charmaine) worked professionally and collaboratively, the overall conduct and communication from the rest of the team significantly disrupted the project and delayed progress.

  The project that was posted for this program had a lot of logistical issues with students who wanted to participate. In the end, only ONE student worked on the project from start to finish. No administrator intervened despite all the communication expressing difficulties.

  Here is the feedback already sent to the team:
 
April 16, 2025
Subject: Feedback on Final Report – Suggestions for Future Projects
Dear Team,
Thank you again for submitting your final report and for the time and effort you’ve dedicated to this project. I wanted to share some specific feedback that may enhance the current deliverables, if you choose to revise them, and also serve as a helpful framework for future projects. Employers often value analysis, attention to detail, and clear alignment with project goals, as these elevate the overall impact of your work.
Area One: Digital Products and Program Offerings
The overall listing of digital products and program offerings lays a good foundation. However, the deliverables explicitly asked for pattern analysis to identify trends across categories like low-cost digital products, mid-cost offerings, core memberships, and upsells. This critical analysis is essential to bring depth to the report.
While recommendations on best-fit products are a nice-to-have, incorporating them can improve the deliverables’ value and provide additional clarity. Also, requested proof aside from just saying there were testimonials, awards etc. was missing. Screenshots/links/images would help validate findings and make your work more actionable.
I never received the remaining mock-ups to review, but the one provided did not align with my brand. Ensuring mock-ups adhere to brand guidelines (such as logo, colors, and visual elements) is beneficial, as it demonstrates attention to detail and alignment with the aesthetic readily available on my social media channels. Careful attention to layout and text alignment would also be appreciated in future deliverables.
Area Two: Website and Visual Inspiration
The deliverables provided links to examples, but they were expected to include annotated screenshots analyzing key elements such as:
•	Hero sections (top of the homepage)
•	Navigation bars
•	Calls-to-action (buttons and text prompts)
•	Presentation of programs/services
Including annotations and evaluative observations about what works well—and what doesn’t—adds actionable value. A Loom walkthrough or a concise summary paragraph could have also achieved this goal effectively.
Social Media Insights
While Instagram was covered extensively, LinkedIn—a key platform for my market—was completely overlooked, despite being stated in the deliverables. The expected focus included:
•	Exploration of visual styles (e.g., video thumbnails, carousels, quote cards) across LinkedIn, in addition to Instagram.
•	Analysis of engagement signals such as likes, comments, and trends in user interaction.
•	Insights into effective event/retreat promotions with specific examples.
This wasn’t a suggestion for broader focus but rather part of the deliverables that needed to be addressed. Employers value thoroughness and prioritization of key channels as outlined in project goals.
Experts List
The deliverables document I had last sent asked for experts with more than 5 years of experience who are either solopreneurs or belong to small-scale businesses. However, many of the suggested experts were large-scale leaders who are likely outside the scope of potential collaboration opportunities. Refining this list to align with the stated criteria would reflect excellent judgment and ensure alignment with project expectations.
Plugins
As a core deliverable was to provide “Freemium” options. It would be helpful to include information about the cost structure (free vs. what the freemium entails) for each suggested solution, as this adds practical and actionable detail to the report.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the report provides useful information and demonstrates effort. However, focusing on deeper analysis, alignment with stated deliverables, and validating findings through screenshots or annotations can significantly enhance the quality of your work. Employers often value action-oriented deliverables that offer insights aligned with project goals—not just lists—which can be increasingly obtained through AI tools.
These suggestions are intended to support you as you refine your approach to professional projects. How you choose to proceed with this feedback is entirely up to you, but I hope this helps you for current and future deliverables. Thank you again for your contributions!
All the best for the future,
Alison Verge

  Due to the nature of the DTTP program, students were picked for the project and as business owners we don’t have chance to interview them. As it happens in such cases, it’s luck to have “right” students for the project. Some didn’t have the skills to do what job described and some were not even communicative since day 1 (yes, we had a student we didn’t talk entire term despite email, discord reaches…) On top of that, the program was only 1 month with no option to extend. For coding program students needs minimum 2 weeks to get their feet wet - onboarding that fast is impressive frankly as there is lots to understand before one can code. So, at the end, students have only couple weeks with us, and this was a partially successful program with lots of overhead to worry. That said, we improvised and one student helped with design which has much faster onboarding process, and also couple students realized how they need more time to learn what they came for and requested to stay even if project ended by DTTP in a month.

  nothing was done through this program and no one completed the task in this program so there was no connection needed. Though I thank the staff for their work as always we did not do anything with this project.
