Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

1. Interview 1: While the homeless population would obviously benefit significantly from these kinds of services, there are serious barriers that make them fall outside our boundaries. The biggest barrier is the cost of the classes, which is not money readily spared by people who can't afford food and shelter. While their shared need is the need for a better career path, there are other steps that should be taken before spending money on career advancement courses. These steps may include addiction or other health challenges currently preventing them from getting work.
2. Interview 2: Students don't necessarily fall inside this category, because at universities like UF, they are provided these services as part of their educational experience. This could be challenging, since students at a University, especially in a city like Gainesville, make up a large group of people making little to no money, and having the drive to advance.
3. Interview 3: A taco bell employee doesn't necessarily have the desire to change jobs, because the steady income is better than a lot of previous jobs held, and he doesn't have a lot of direct skills he feels would be worth developing for a different career path. He feels that his need for advancement will be satisfied by working hard in his current position.
4. Interview 4: Someone who appears to be the perfect candidate, but simply doesn't want to spend the time or money to be educated on how to advance her career. Time is valuable, and so is the money made in low-wage jobs, so it can be difficult to ask people to dedicate themselves to professional growth. Therefore, the basic qualifications are met, but the underlying desire to invest in improvement doesn't line up.
5. Interview 5: An older person working at a small business doesn't want to change jobs, because they've been satisfied with their job for a long time. They don't want to invest in a complete change of course, and they find the stability of their current job and employer attractive. They seem to be a good candidate for this service, but don't share the need of job advancement.

6. Inside the boundary	Outside the boundary
   People who not only are in a paying, but low-wage job, but that have the skills, time, and desire to invest professional development.	People who don’t have the time or money to take the classes, or who simply don’t see the value in using them for advancement.
   The need to learn the skills to help advance your professional career.	A “fix-it-all” for anyone who wants to make more money.
   People don’t have the knowledge to pursue a different career path.	Some people are satisfied with their current path, or have deeper needs that cannot be satisfied by these courses.
