Accelerate Her Future is an incredible organization with an important mission. It was an honour to be able to participate in their inaugural Virtual Career Accelerator (VCA) program. Their team is passionate, professional, and knowledgeable. We worked with a group of four students who participated in the VCA program's first cohort and were impressed with how much they knew and could do, especially in such a short timeframe. We elected to participate as a project provider in order to support and mentor other self-identifying Black, Indigenous and women of colour pursuing careers in technology. We also gained a lot from this project as the deliverables were well thought-out and will be useful to us as we improve upon our web app. Congratulations to AHF and we welcome the opportunity to work together again in the future.

AHF connected our company with five students, all of whom were very intelligent individuals with dynamic personalities, and fascinating stories about how UX design has become their objective. In all honesty this was a difficult internship compared to others our company has undertaken with different organizations. In particular, it was difficult to organize meetings in which all members could attend, without having to go outside of our company's work hours. In the future, I think AFH could benefit from strategizing solutions to this issue before connecting students with companies. Perhaps matching not only based on alignment of interests and sector, but also matching candidates based on their schedules and the work hours of the organization. Additionally, it was clear that the amount of training in Figma which was provided before the internship was quit limited, and I gather that this was in part also due to scheduling issues between the course and an instructor. All in all I appreciate that these are difficulties which arise in any continuing education course, especially one which caters to adults who have busy lives, however, I believe improvements could be made. Otherwise, thank you to Simran for your organizational work and attention to detail, and to the students for your openness, interest, and in particular your detailed journey maps.
