On Time, On Task, On Budget
Project Management for Not-for-Profit and Social Enterprises
Many not-for-profits carry out their work on a project or term contract basis. This means there is a well defined beginning and end for the service that is to be delivered. Many of these projects or contracts operate on either a low profit or cost-recovery basis, leaving little margin for error. In ‘Project Management for Not-for-Profits’, you will identify the common project management pitfalls, learn how to overcome them, and walk away with tangible planning tools to ensure your project stays on time, on budget, and delivers the outcomes you need.

What would it take to make children and youth in Digby, Yarmouth and Shelburne Counties healthy, safe, nurtured, and responsible - and given the right opportunities to be the best they can be? That is the question we need YOUR help answering.
Education
ACSBE believes that entrepreneurship is about a mindset – an approach to life. Entrepreneurial skills are a means for students and youth to get involved in their community and make their classroom learning applicable in society.
Community
All of ACSBE’s programming centres around the idea that entrepreneurial characteristics and skills can help you achieve your goals – whether you are an individual, organization or community. It is also based on the belief that good decision-making - decisions that result in happy, healthy and productive individuals, organizations and communities - starts with a clear understanding of what you want out of your life or want to achieve as a community.
Several programs exist to assist individuals, organizations and communities develop a vision for what they want to achieve and translate that vision into a reality – whether that be employment opportunities, self-employment opportunities, the mission of a not-for-profit organization or envisioning the future of various communities – geographic communities as well as those communities who come together because of common purpose, interest or challenge.
Not-for-Profit Consulting
Our region’s non-profit and social enterprises are among the most entrepreneurial and forward-thinking in Nova Scotia. They solve important societal problems and contribute to the community’s quality of life.
