Course recommendations for professional workflow practise/running projects

Please describe your issue

Hi,

I love the sections of 1-soft-skills.md discussing the importance of practising running projects like a real software project, as mentioned in Collaborating and working in a team and Familiarity with workflows and processes

In addition to the helpful resources defining roles, stacks and articles for learning the process in theory, I was wondering if you could keep an eye out for courses from your partners, or consider searching for courses that offer a real-time experience simulating a professional experience of running a small project?

For example, when I first learnt illustration I joined a project set-up to simulate the professional process of receiving a design brief, communicating with a creative director, following a timeline and completing the work to a deadline. It gave me a great taste of 'being a professional'.

I haven't yet seen any courses for web developers that follow this structure - they are mostly self-paced, self-directed learning, but I think if one should come up or be developed it would be a fantastic addition to the partner courses/recommendations for those sub-sections.

I'd totally design a course like that myself if I had the expertise!

Thanks

This is a really interesting idea. I've personally not seen any BootCamp type courses or online training courses that offer such an experience.

The closest I've seen is university courses that partner with industry for students' final year projects to offer them a "real" client project to work on. It usually is a real project, for example where the client is told that they can get their site built on the cheap, with the caveat that it'll be a bunch of students building it.
