Your Trusted Experiential Learning Partner
Our technology empowers educators to build and manage high-impact experiential learning projects with industry partners that energize classrooms and empower students.
Industry-Integrated Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a form of active, applied learning that results in reference-worthy work experience that can be added to the résumé and discussed during interviews.
Through CapSource engagements, students practice using key universal skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity in addition to relevant tools and technical skills in order to develop real outcomes for real stakeholders who provide meaningful and actionable feedback along the way.
As a result, students gain résumé-worthy experience since they’re working with real companies, in real business functions, on real challenges that have real stakes.

Mentoring
Getting started is easy once the institution has adopted the CapSource Experiential Mentor Program on the CapSource CONNECT system! Invite prospective mentors and mentees to visit the college’s website where they can:
1. Register for the Platform and Create your Profile
Mentors and mentees build their profiles with details about education and professional backgrounds as well as other basic info that improves matching quality.
2. Indicate Mentorship Preferences
Once registered, mentors and students are matched based upon their interests, preferences, and availability.
3. Get Matched & Get Started!
Mentors are notified when a match is made and given the option to accept or decline. Once accepted, the student is prompted to connect with their mentor to establish an agreed upon method of communicating (email, phone, Skype, Google Meets, etc.) then is prompted to schedule the kickoff meeting.
Matched participants are provided a topic-focused mentoring module to guide the engagement, which includes a sequence of three meetings including activities, conversation starters, and deliverables that facilitate mentor-mentee interactions and foster a mentoring relationship.

“I’d love to have my students work on Live Projects in both my Operations Management and Information Systems classes in Spring. Now I can’t even imagine ever going back to teaching a class without including a live case project. I really appreciate all that your team and Toby are doing.
It’s really making such a difference to the learning opportunities we can provide our students.”

“My students learned a lot by working on this Live Case Project with Hioki. Maki and her team from Hioki were amazing. They provided not only real world experience and opportunity to my students, but they were also very good about providing my students with industry insights and other information. I am so impressed with the opportunity provided to my students by Jordan Levy and his Capsource team that I want to continue doing the Live Case Projects for all my courses every semester. I appreciate Toby White’s leadership and initiative in developing this program for SUNY Potsdam. This collaboration creates such a huge value addition to the education we provide to our students, and will surely give them a competitive advantage in comparison to their peers at other Higher Ed institutions. I encourage all my colleagues to incorporate the Live Case Projects in all of their courses.”

I really enjoyed working with both industry partners. Both of the projects were ideal for social work students. Our students learned so much and did so much research. It was so neat for the Dean to also see how passionate our students were about homelessness and the environment. When people think of social workers, they think of counseling, not all the other things that we can that we do. I thought these projects were a really excellent way for social work students to build their skills and discover new ways they can serve as industry professionals.

Phil and Merlin from Remote Intelligence have been terrific industry mentors. We’ve met twice via Zoom, and they’ve been to Juniata College twice to talk with students in-person and to fly drone surveys over the property where we are conducting the invasive species survey.

You did a masterful job of going from the big picture on adidas’ 3 strategic pillars through to your product innovations, digital strategies, influencer partnerships and grassroots efforts. I think the students have a far better sense of how challenging and exciting your work is and I know we’ll have great ideas for this project based on the time you provided today.

I never used to have a summer as it was spent sourcing companies for projects and sorting out all the details in Excel. This platform has given me an environment to do everything I used to do manually. It has truly been a blessing!

The student work on the Centric Br ands HERVE project was tremendous. This was a real challenge, with a real br and. The students had a chance to apply what they’re learning in the classroom to something that was completely real-world and relevant.

I just want to thank Jordan and the CapSource team, Phyllis and IACBE, and the team Ronald McDonald House at Jacksonville for giving our students an opportunity to participate in experiential learning opportunity, and to provide feedback about how to take the classroom to a real-world issue and context. On behalf of Excelsior College, very appreciative of your time, expertise, and leadership. Beyond that, this provided a chance for our online students to engage with one another and with our instructional faculty in a different way. Very, very appreciative. Great learning opportunity! Great job by Ever Upward team too.

“One of the main priorities for the SUNY Potsdam Lougheed Applied Learning Center is make experiential learning accessible for all our students and faculty.

Experiential learning is especially critical for business programs since blending theory and practice allows the students to build their confidence as they prepare for their professional careers. CapSource provides us with access to companies we would otherwise not be able to work with. They make it easy to identify the right organizations for every course given the overall structure, desired rigor, and teaching objectives.

I first learned of CapSource when one my colleagues highly recommended them. They have been incredible collaborators when Ramapo College hosted groups of business students (both graduate and undergraduate) from overseas universities. He masterfully crafted a panel of entrepreneurs, start-up experts and companies from his expansive network. The international students gained insights into the business environment in the metro-NYC area, as well as sharing ideas, posing critical questions and brainstorming solutions within this inter-cultural group of individuals. Ramapo College will continue to work with Jordan and CapSource and highly recommend any higher education institution to collaborate with them as well.
