RESTART
Capability becomesEmployability
RESTART is the final phase of the She Starts system.
This phase is not about learning more skills. It is about functioning professionally, explaining work clearly, and engaging with hiring environments with confidence and composure.
RESTART can begin only after successfully completing REBUILD.
Why RESTART Exists
Many restart programmes fail at the last mile.
They rush women into:
Participants often...
- know how to do the work
- complete tasks successfully
- understand tools and processes
Yet still struggle to...
- explain their decisions calmly
- articulate their work under questioning
- handle interviews without panic
- present themselves as professionals instead of learners
A weekly rhythm that rebuilds habits and momentum
REBUILD runs Monday to Saturday on a fixed, predictable cadence to reduce overwhelm, rebuild habits, and turn clarity into stable execution.
Why a fixed weekly cadence?
The weekly structure removes confusion about "what happens when" and lets participants focus on doing the work instead of managing the program.
Each day has a clear intent, so skills are built layer by layer: foundations, execution, career readiness, feedback, voice, and interview practice.
Monday
Why
Advanced context and decision-making
Participants explore:
- Advanced concepts aligned to their career path
- Professional standards and expectations
- Decision-making logic and trade-offs
Tuesday
Execution
Independent execution and capstone work
Participants:
- Execute tasks using real tools and workflows
- Operate with increasing autonomy
- Take ownership of quality, timelines, and outcomes
- Execution begins here, not later
Wednesday
Clarity
Interview articulation
Participants practise:
- Explaining their work clearly
- Justifying decisions and approaches
- Answering role-specific interview questions
- Structuring responses using proven frameworks
Thursday
Review
Review, feedback and interview questions
Work is reviewed for:
- Execution quality
- Reasoning and judgement
- Clarity of explanation
Friday
Real Hiring
Capstone consolidation
This is dedicated time for:
- Strengthening earlier work
- Integrating multiple components of the capstone
- Identifying and fixing gaps
- Improving explanation and structure
Saturday
Mock interviews
Mock interviews (bi-weekly)
Mock interviews continue once every two weeks during RESTART.
- Realistic interview simulations
- Applied practice under gentle pressure
Capstone Ownership
The capstone becomes the central proof point for interviews and placement discussions.
A Living Body of Work
The capstone is not a one-time submission. It is a continuous project that evolves across REBUILD and RESTART, mirroring the iterative nature of real-world jobs.
Proof of Work
Real outputs aligned to the chosen career path.
Explanation Clarity
The ability to explain what was done and why.
Interview Defence
Calm, structured responses under questioning.
Restart Progression Gate
Progression from RESTART is based on readiness, not completion.
Readiness Criteria
- Execute work consistently
- Explain decisions and reasoning clearly
- Handle interview questions with composure
- Present herself as a professional in restart mode
Ready for placement support
This is not a job guarantee. It is confirmation of employability readiness.
System Flow
(Current phase: RESTART)
RESTART completes the restart journey by aligningidentity, capability, and professional presence.
Entry into the system
RESTART is not an entry point.She Starts always begins with RESET to ensure clarity and foundation before progression.
