Have Students Pitch You Their Ideas

Two ways to hear from Zimbabwe’s sharpest young talent — a set challenge, or an open door.
Active

Post A Call for Proposals

Describe a challenge or opportunity. Students submit proposals; you review and choose the ones worth taking further — for a capstone, an internship, or a paid project.

Passive

Open to Receiving Proposals

Opt in, and certified students in your area of interest can pitch you their ideas and solutions directly through EPCON — no brief required.

1

You post a call (or opt in) using the form below.

2

EPCON publishes it to students as a live brief and routes it to the right tracks.

3

Student proposals come back to you to review, shortlist and take forward.
