How We Work

Every single business is different. They may all operate under similar markets, but what makes a business effective and prosperous is its differences amongst its competitors. Those essential differences can help businesses thrive, even in the most difficult of circumstances. At ECS, we work to outline solutions that best help your organization evolve. An organization’s ability to thrive is reliant upon its ability to transform itself time and time again in an uncertain market. Changing with the times, adopting new mechanisms, and facing challenges head-on can produce positive changes for your organization for years to come.

For this reason, ECS offers a diverse range of solutions that cater to the needs of an organization to ensure that strategies implemented help target audiences thrive in a competitive global economy. We offer organizations education solutions, workforce and talent development, social investment and partnership strategies, community engagement, project management, change management, and lastly, but certainly not least, futuristic thinking.

Strategic Process begins with us, but Genuine Impact begins with YOU.

What We've Done

Senario: Development of a National STEM Leadership Summit

The Client project required services to aid the development of a national STEM Leadership summit for three consecutive years in both Washington, DC and New Orleans, LA that engaged hundreds of leadership teams from across the United States and Puerto Rico to work on identified problems of practice related to attracting and retaining a diverse STEM teaching workforce. The Summit creates an environment to support the development of district-specific “action plans” for recruiting, retaining, and elevating minority STEM teachers to leadership roles to serve as catalysts for change.

Senario: Enhance STEM Aacademic Plan

Project that required services to enhance their current STEM academic plan with a summer learning experience for 450 middle and high school boys from across the United States. A STEM learning experience was designed to provide thematic, project-based, hands-on learning to support discovery and demonstrate how STEM professionals from different fields work collaboratively to achieve work goals and objectives.

Senario: Development of a 5-Year Action Plan

The Client project required the development of an action plan that articulated how STEM education will develop, support, enhance and drive learning in the key areas of: Chemical Process Technology, STEM: Engineering, Architecture: HVAC, and STEM Business Management: Human Resources for an inner-city public high school located in the largest school district in the state of Texas. The action plan was designed to achieve teaching and learning goals over the course of five years and training the STEM campus leader to support shifts aligned to yearly incremental steps impacting focused strategies related to:

Connecting STEM Thematically
Increasing Cultural Diversity
Community Links
Evidence Based Student Engagement: Learning (Deep and Wide)
Collaborative Teaching: Project-based Learning (PBL)
Leadership and Management: Norms
Professional Development: Accountability.

Senario: Evaluate, Redesign, Optimise.

A Client project that required us to evaluate four STEM after-school/summer enrichment programs servicing various communities throughout Austin, Texas. We utilized their Program Quality Assessment instrument, which was designed to evaluate the quality of youth programs and identify staff training needs. The set of score-able standards provided to each of the participating non-profit agencies pinpointed best practices associated with empowering people and the organization, measuring the quality of youth experiences, and promotion and leveraging of available resources.

Senario: Annual Science & Math Night in the Community

Our client required us to support the development of an annual community math and science night at an inner-city middle school. The event was aimed at encouraging parent engagement. The teachers were trained on the implementation and facilitation of the STEM activity stations, the tool-kits and resources were prepared for each station, and supplemental edutainment vendors were secured for inaugural event.
