The main goal for the project is to conduct market research to understand the target audience for Nikisar Inc's short stories and to identify potential opportunities for growth and engagement within the community.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

- Conducting surveys and interviews with community members to gather insights on their preferences and interests.

- Analyzing the data collected to identify trends and patterns that can inform future content creation.

- Researching competitors and similar media and production houses to understand the market landscape.

- Creating a comprehensive report with recommendations for potential strategies and initiatives based on the market research findings.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

- Completed surveys and interview data from the community members.

- Data analysis and identification of key insights and trends.

- A comprehensive report with recommendations for potential strategies and initiatives based on the market research findings.

Final deliverables:

- A detailed report outlining the market research findings and recommendations.

- Presentation of the findings and recommendations to the Nikisar Inc team.

Mentorship programs have become an increasingly popular resource as organizations

recognize the value of employee development.

Mentorship relationships happen naturally within any professional setting when someone with more experience (the mentor) offers valuable insights to someone with less experience (the mentee). But establishing formal mentorship programs adds the structure and consistency necessary for long-lasting and positive outcomes. In the process of supporting candidates in the completion of the project the mentor will guide them with 5 hours of their time and resources in

order for them to successfully complete the project.
