GENERAL
IDEAS
Alternative solutions
Intensive + Follow up
▪ 1 Week of intensive training
▪ 8-12 weeks of optional follow up / mentorship
Intensive program - Pros and cons
Pros
▪ Easier to engage people
▪ The intensive program serves as a
filter to give further support
Cons
▪ Too much information in very short
time
▪ Participants only work together for a
week
▪ Not very flexible. If a candidate is
very interested but cannot attend in
the scheduled week she misses the
whole program
Recurring independent training and mentorship
▪ Weekly training class
▪ Weekly schedulable one-on-one mentorships
▪ No need to engage
▪ Optional: Certificate after attending X number of classes
▪ Optional: Opportunity to pitch for funding after attending X number of 1-on-1
sessions.
▪ Optional: Opportunity leverage Hestia Hellas’ networks to get resources
▪ Other incentives.
Recurring program - Pros and cons
Pros
▪ Flexibility
▪ More different types of groups can
participate. Some might be interested
only in training while others only in
mentorship.
▪ Classes could be provided by different
experts (marketing, finance, business
dev., etc.)
▪ Need for long term coordinator, not
necessarily long term experts (though
highly desirable).
Cons
▪ Lower engagement. It could be
increased by giving opportunity to
access funding, a certificate or other
incentives.
▪ More need to advertise
▪ Difficult to balance number of
participants every day
Full 3/6 months program
▪ Weekly training class
▪ Weekly schedulable one-on-one mentorships
▪ Engagement mandatory
▪ Optional: Certificate after attending X number of classes
▪ Optional: Opportunity to pitch for funding after attending X number of 1-on-1
sessions.
▪ Optional: Opportunity leverage Hestia Hellas’ networks to get resources
▪ Other incentives.
Full Program - Pros and cons
Pros
▪ Better engagement
▪ Easier planning
▪ Less advertisement costs
Cons
▪ Not flexible
▪ Drop-outs not easily recoverable
▪ Costly selection process.
▪ Risk of leaving out people who could
be highly benefited by the program.
▪ Requires long term volunteers
Thank you!
