Nueva Epoca Focus Group
The Nueva Epoca Team has been actively engaging with several community stakeholders to design its 2.0 Program. The team has identified four focus groups that will provide valuable input on the key elements of the program and its features. The aim is to gather important information from each focus group to help design the program. The team understands that the focus group participants are busy professionals and so the meetings will be kept to about an hour. The team is confident that the focus group discussions will have a meaningful impact on the program's success and meet their commitment to their funding agencies.
The team is particularly excited about designing the 2.0 Program in collaboration with a local university. It is important to engage with the right people in the university to create a formal working relationship for this program. This will differentiate it from other leadership programs in the region as it will customize the program for those students who wish to develop their "hard skills" with educational degrees and certification programs, thereby helping them advance in their professional careers.
The next steps for the team include securing participation in the focus group process, selecting and inviting focus group members, conducting the focus group meetings, recording the results, and designing the 2.0 Program with the gathered information. The team aims to seek seed funding for the marketing and implementation of the 2.0 Program in the first quarter of the Nueva Epoca fiscal year.
