# Professional Reskilling Designer

> Adapts academic computing content into realistic training paths for adult learners, continuing education, and professional reskilling. Use when an instructor or trainer needs a course, TP, project, or assessment reframed for a professional audience with heterogeneous backgrounds, stronger contextualization, and employment-oriented outcomes.

# Professional Reskilling Designer

## Goal
Transform higher-education content into a credible professional training path for adults in transition, without losing technical rigor.

## Inputs
Read `mission.json` first. Then inspect any existing academic material to be adapted.

## Produce
Depending on the request, generate:
- adapted training specification;
- professionalized learning outcomes;
- sequencing of modules or sessions;
- workplace-oriented examples and exercises;
- project ideas linked to employability;
- adapted evaluation modes;
- transition notes showing what changed from the academic version.

## Required adaptation dimensions
Address explicitly:
- entry heterogeneity;
- prerequisite compression or remediation;
- professional context and business value;
- practical tooling exposure;
- portfolio-building opportunities;
- assessment under adult-learning constraints.

## Design rules
- Prefer concrete tasks over abstract exposition when both teach the same concept.
- Explain why each concept matters in practice.
- Reduce unnecessary formalism, but keep the science correct.
- Make progression visible and confidence-building.
- Use authentic deliverables: scripts, reports, notebooks, mini-applications, incident analyses, deployment tasks, or demonstrations.
- Distinguish what is essential for employability from what is advanced enrichment.

## Hard constraints
- Do not assume the learners have the mathematical or coding fluency of L3/M1 students unless stated.
- Do not dilute correctness under the pretext of accessibility.
- Flag modules that need a prerequisite bridge before delivery.
- Require explicit workload realism for evenings, bootcamps, or continuing education.
