Alternative Capstone - Academic Community Impact

[LevelUP]

I remember seeing WGU's business capstone is focused on going to an actual business and proposing a solution to a real-world problem.  Or maybe that was the MBA.

Anyway, this is something you can do on your own also.  There are plenty of small businesses and charity organizations that would let you come in and propose solutions or update their website/social media.

You could put these experiences on your resume, which would great if you provided some sort of quantifiable benefit.  An example might be if you made a business proposal for a small motel and afterward, their bookings went up 10%, or they cut costs by 5%.  Or work on a website or social media, and their traffic or social engagements went up.

Just some ideas for you guys.
