Project Seepshila

Project Seepshila, an Iraa initiative

Learn. Build. Become. Hands-on bootcamps, career counseling, industry training, internships and project mentorship that turn college students into industry-ready professionals.

Three partners, one path to a career

Project Seepshila gives college students an integrated, hands-on learning experience: practical bootcamps, career counseling, industry-specific training, internships and entrepreneurship development.

It links three partners. Colleges host credit-linked courses and send students into the program. Industry defines the skills it needs, hosts interns and offers placements. Iraa Ventures counsels, trains, mentors and coordinates.

The problem

Academic knowledge alone is not enough

Students in today's fast-moving IT industry need hands-on skills, industry exposure and guidance to make informed career decisions.

~10,000

IT graduates enter Nepal's workforce each year, many lacking practical, industry-ready skills.

Teamwork and problem-solving, practical training and university curricula are the strongest predictors of graduate employability (384 students surveyed).

Khadka, NepJOL 2025

A Kathmandu University study traces the gap in ICT graduate employability to four causes:

  • Too little practicum and work-based learning
  • Curriculum that lags industry
  • Weak university–industry relations
  • Students and employers rating readiness differently
The program

Built on three components

01

Credit-linked skill courses

We review your university's course content, then design a 10-hour, 3-credit-hour course that runs in the semester break or every Sunday. It connects to the existing syllabus or adds a relevant new course.

  • Graphic design / UI/UX
  • Digital marketing
  • Frontend development
  • Backend & databases
  • ERP (SAP Business One, Tally)
  • Networking
  • Cloud, cybersecurity & AI
  • IT entrepreneurship
02

Personalized training & internship

Group and one-on-one career counseling helps each student choose a track. Then come 3 months of specialized training and a 3-month industry internship in a real work environment.

  • Batches of 14–16 students from different colleges
  • Zero net cost to students: the training fee is returned when you complete the training
03

Final-year project mentorship

We supervise final-year projects from selection to delivery, using a structured project management method.

  • Groups of 5 students
  • Strong projects may be co-funded by Iraa Ventures toward a startup or market-ready product

Yes, the net cost is zero. The training fee is returned to you when you complete the training.

During the semester break or every Sunday, so they fit around regular classes. Each credit-linked course is 10 hours and carries 3 credit hours.

Each batch has 14–16 students drawn from different colleges, small enough for personal attention and mixed enough to learn from each other.

Tell us the skills you need in an intern. We train students on them for three months, then they join you for a three-month internship. You can offer placements to those who perform well. There is no fee for industry partners.

We start with a partner meeting, then map your syllabus and the skills industry needs. Next we agree on scheduling, faculty involvement, intern numbers and placement terms, and launch with credit sessions and counseling.
