This workshop will use participant data to drive the exploration of key aspects of national living-learning entrepreneurship programs to include: (1) program purpose/goals, (2) physical space requirements, (3) programming, (4) recruitment and selection, and (5) operations management including staffing and financial structure. Participants are highly encouraged to submit a pre-workshop survey that encompasses the key topics of the workshop. Individuals without existing programs are encouraged to attend and complete the elements of the survey that address their motivations and perceived challenges of starting a program. The data will be collected and analyzed in collaboration with Epicenter. The survey results will be shared during the workshop and used to facilitate a highly interactive dialogue among the participants. Participants will explore the survey results using personal best practice anecdotes and conversations on the constraints, strategies, uses, and rationale of the data. Participants will take away concrete strategies, contacts, and context to drive their own entrepreneurship living-learning program planning to the next level.
