- developing a program tailored to their needs or making changes to existing programs to better fit their needs as feedback is received
- undertaking a learning styles inventory of each participant and designing a learning environment as close as possible to suit their learning styles

- looking for and supporting through volunteering seminars or consulting, one community project per year where self sufficiency is the aim of the project

The team
Praxis School of Entrepreneurship practices what it preaches; we call it "eating our own dog food." As stated in the corporate philosophy, it is the policy of the Praxis School of Entrepreneurship to contract entrepreneurs who are all practicing professionals in their fields as course facilitators rather then to "hire" employees. This policy was identified as one of the critical factors that has accounted for the high success rates of our clients. Indications from client feedback forms shows that the inclusion of actual practitioners in its team makeup continues to occupy a major roll in the strength of the entrepreneurship program. As opposed to simply passing on a theoretical knowledge, our facilitators speak from personal experience because they have all "been there - done that."
