Bridge the Experience Gap
Earn real project hours by solving actual, hands-on challenges for a real non-profit.
The role asks for proven hours. The hours tend to come with the role. The Pro Bono Lab breaks that loop: over 25 structured project initiatives sit in the pipeline, ready to launch as cohorts and project sponsors align.

Great instincts. No proof.
That changes here.
The Challenge: Great Instincts, No Proof
You are the one who steps in when schedules slip: chasing updates, keeping the work moving. Real coordination, done daily, invisible on paper. Then a role opens, the filter asks for documented hours with a recognised organisation, and your name drops out before anyone reads it. You can do the job. The record is the only thing missing.
The Pivot: Working on a Live Project
The Pro Bono Lab is where the record gets built. In a small cohort you take a live challenge straight from the team at Siel Bleu Ireland, carry the classroom tools onto it, and build a complete, workable project plan against real constraints, real timelines and real goals.

From Enrolment to Evidence
Four steps, one route — here is exactly how you go from no documented hours to proof you can point to.
Enrol on the course
The Lab is the practical phase of the CSPP™ Certification Course. Your cohort place comes with enrolment — there is no separate application.
Build your toolkit
The classroom phase comes first: the sustainable project management methods you will carry straight into your live project.
Deliver a live project
Join a small cohort, take on a real challenge from the Siel Bleu Ireland pipeline and build a complete, workable project plan.

Your Questions, Answered
The practical bits people want to know before they enrol.
How do I join the Pro Bono Lab?
The Lab is the practical phase of the CSPP™ Certification Course. Enrol on the course and a Lab cohort place comes with it — classroom first, live project second. There is no separate application.
Do I need project experience to take part?
No. The Lab was built for people who carry the coordination work every day with nothing on paper to show for it. The training phase gives you the tools; the Lab is where you apply them, with a cohort around you and a real deadline ahead of you.
Do I choose which project I work on?
Projects are matched when your cohort is scheduled, drawn from the live Siel Bleu Ireland pipeline above — over 25 initiatives are secured. Each one is real, current and sponsored by the organisation’s own team.
What proof do I walk away with?
Documented project hours delivered for a recognised non-profit organisation, a complete project plan with your name on it, and a showcase presentation in front of industry peers and leaders — evidence for your CV, your LinkedIn profile and your next interview.
How many hours will I earn in the Lab?
That depends on what you need. Hours vary by project, and each professional joins with a different target — some aim for a full 30 hours of documented delivery, others need 10 to complete the hours required to sit their PMI exam. The scope of your role within the cohort flexes with the goal you bring.
What happens at the Showcase Event?
It is the final milestone of the Lab. Your team stands on stage at our Showcase Event and walks the audience through the timelines you built, the constraints you handled and the outcome you delivered for Siel Bleu Ireland. Your work gets seen, and your hours get verified.
