I have an idea for my capstone project that I am very interested in. Well, it is at least the seedling of an idea so we shall go from there. One of the things we have to think about when approaching service learning is finding a gap to fill. I cannot remember if I have explained service learning here or not. Basically, it is working on a project where I am employed that meets a need that has not really been explored yet. That is not easy when you work for a company like Kisco. They cover all of the bases very well. And the gap does not have to necessarily be something that is missing, but it could be something that is there but simply needs further development.
I came across my idea when I was doing some of my online training for work. We have training we have to do each month. I also often like to take extracurricular training courses that are offered because they are pretty informative and, best of all, free! Doing this training got my mind to turning and so I did some research into our training modules and could not find what I was looking for. Bingo! So, that will give a good slant on this as I can start from the ground up. I discussed this idea with my assistant executive director, and she was very on board with it. In the next day or two, I will present my idea to my professor and see what she thinks. Hopefully it will go as I want it to, but if not, I will find something else.
I am being vague here, I know that. But once I get the green light, I will talk more specifics. I just wanted to let you know that the idea is there!
