PROJECT PILLARS
1. Needs assessment – determining exactly what IS needed and wanted in order to improve financial security and improve quality of life. During the needs assessment, Enactus Lambton listens to a community's goals and objectives and peoples hopes and dreams.
2. Education and training – narrowing down how ’ goals could be achieved. The Enactus Lambton team works with subject matter experts to determine how to produce the best results. We then begin to teach participants on the topic.
3. Growth and development – to increase the number of individuals learning the programs, Enactus Lambton uses the train the trainer method, transferring knowledge and teaching techniques to select people who could then train future participants.
4. Ensuring long-term success – putting a plan in place to make the project sustainable without Enactus Lambton’s direct involvement or oversight. This includes the development of a management team for when Enactus is not there.
