2 consultants to provide facilitation, instruction, coaching and a forum for peer learning
Recruitment managed by ESC staff to identify participants based on the funder’s priority mission area
Curriculum tailored to the participants based on a needs assessment survey performed by ESC staff
Access to one-on-one coaching from consultants between training sessions
Professional support by ESC’s staff to oversee and administer the cohort, including program and materials development and logistics
