Run the initial assessment needed for measuring the outcome/impact of the project

Introductory session with the beneficiaries, presentation of the volunteers and project objectives.

Onboarding space with partner representatives to understand the current scenario, beneficiaries and discuss about the outcome of the project

Preparing the activities that will be done in the following weeks and receiving feedback from the partners and AIESEC

Create an implementation plan on how the project should unfold and determine materials to be used

Intensive literature review on EV energy systems, hybrid energy storage, and EMS optimization techniques.

Coordinate sessions with individual participants to identify what skills they want to develop. Set up a PDP with them.

Workshop: Exploring Career Paths and Employability in the 21st Century

Continuation of literature review focusing on real-world EV charging station architectures and optimization challenges.

Workshop: Empowering Futures - introduction to SDG 8

Assessment of their current hard and soft skills: where can they improve?

Workshop: Introduction to Soft and Hard Skills

Activity: Creative brainstorming sessions to foster innovation and adaptability in addressing complex challenges.

Development spaces (games, dynamics, role play, roundtables, etc) about soft skills development: solution oriented, world citizen, empowering others, self awareness

Hands-on practice with basic EV models and energy system simulations.

Introduction to MATLAB/Simulink.

Soft skill workshops based on demands and needs of participants. (communication, leadership, problem solving, adaptability, time management etc)

Activity: introspection space for participants to realize their own strengths and weaknesses and identify what soft skills they have and what can they improve.

Activity: Create a space for beneficiaries to assess and provide feedback on soft skills like communication and teamwork, identifying areas for improvement.

Initial testing of EMS algorithms.

Development of simulation models for the hybrid battery-supercapacitor system.

Offer workshops that cover foundational digital skills (e.g., Microsoft Office, digital collaboration) alongside those focused on high-demand skills (e.g., programming, entrepreneurship).

Provide access to online platforms where beneficiaries can take assessments to evaluate their proficiency in various hard skills. Follow up with personalized learning plans based on assessment results.

Organize group discussions where participants share best practices related to specific hard skills.

Activity: Skill-specific mentorship sessions where professionals mentor small groups of participants, giving hands-on guidance and advice on honing hard skills like data analysis, digital marketing, or project management.

Activity: introduce the beneficiaries to professionals from different work fields, so that youth can learn more about the diversity of job opportunities and their needed hard skills

Refining simulations.

Workshop: Self Branding. How to "sell" yourself?

Workshop: Application procedures. How to create a CV, write motivation letter and do an interview?

Practice: Let participants do mock application procedures and give them feedback on the output

Plan a Career Day event where professionals from diverse fields discuss their roles, share career insights, and answer beneficiaries' questions about job opportunities.

Ensure that beneficiaries participation of local online and physical job fairs.

Running multiple scenarios and analyzing results based on energy efficiency, cost, and performance.

Closing day with beneficiaries

Drafting a comprehensive technical report.

Analyse data to determinate outcome/impact results (level of awareness of beneficiaries post-project activities).

Build final project report and presented to AIESEC members and NGO/non-profit representatives.

Debrief the impact of the project, how the beneficiaries developed, discuss about what went well and even better if and include this in the report

Collect data from beneficiaries (you can use surveys, interviews, focus groups, etc.)

Writing and formatting a research paper for possible publication or project documentation.
