Building on their impressive career histories, Executive Service Corps (ESC) trains its volunteer consultants to understand the nonprofit sector and assure consistent high quality consulting and coaching practices and results for clients. REQUIRED TRAINING FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS ESC volunteers have a wealth of experience and expertise that they are willing to share with nonprofit, school and government organizations. Training helps our volunteers to shift from a management mindset to a consulting, facilitative mode and explains how to apply corporate skills, experience and knowledge to the unique needs of ESC’s clients. Orientation Workshop provides basic information and insights into the core values, programs and services, structure and operations of ESC. (1/2 day) Consulting Skills Workshop provides the volunteers with an opportunity to acquire and practice basic consulting skills such as document review and analysis, interviewing and listening skills, creating appropriate solutions and recommendations, and presentation skills. This course integrates techniques for planning and facilitating productive meetings.
