Mobile Courses
These courses incorporate local awareness and real-life case studies to bring your community development learning to life.
ED101 Community Economic Development Principles, Practices and Strategies
Look at the theoretical base and practical applications of community economic development and learn to define it. Understand the goals, guiding principles, and measures of success; examine costs versus benefits of projects; and understand the multiplier effect, capital leakage, and the difference between basic and non-basic industries. Find out what is involved in making distinctions among strategies aimed at affecting the supply versus demand for labor, and how to make informed choices about the use of tools such as business incubators, loan funds, targeted real estate projects, and job training programs. Includes case studies, lectures, and a site visit to a local economic development project. First required course to obtain a professional certificate in Community Economic Development.
ED145 Energize Your Local Economy with a Public Market
Local, public markets are making an incredible comeback across the country. Learn what type of market is best for you and how to plan a market that will be sustainable for your community. The course will provide an introductory overview of markets and a presentation of the qualities and benefits of successful markets. Business planning and management will complete the classroom portion. In the afternoon, we will visit a local market to learn how they act as catalysts for community economic development and social interaction.
CB180 Community Engagement: A Mobile Workshop
To supplement your classroom learning in community development, join us for an in-depth look at community development in action, with our NTI host city as the model. Come spend the day "on the road" - in a mobile workshop - interacting with residents, city representatives, policy makers, business leaders and others key to the community engagement process. You'll come back with a deeper understanding of how this city works, how things get done, and with concrete, replicable and adaptable examples you can use in your own city. You will experience not only what works in this city's community building, community organizing and community leadership culture, but also have the opportunity to interact with some of the people who have been critical change agents.
