Step 2 - Test the prototypes with people. I tested them with the person I interviewed and defined the problem statement for.  You could see her feedback for both ideas.

Feedback related to Prototype A tested with the stakeholder

interviewed+ what worked What could be improved

? Questions ! ideas

- good idea- easy to implement- schools will best know the needs of businesses, so it’s easier to adjust the curriculum to real needs

Organize event:- invite companies to participate in school projects

Establish cooperation protocol to:- short internships;- school provides manpower;- company offers contact with the world of work.

- The school has autonomy to adjust curricula?

Feedback related to Prototype B which was tested with the stakeholder
