You can make the Community Accelerator courses fit your needs and schedule. Individuals can take the courses independently, or the courses can provide the foundation for group study to deepen understanding and get leaders, staff and partners on the same page. ICF can also provide workshops – online or in person – focusing on your community’s unique challenges and opportunities.
On your own
Become an Intelligent Community developer by purchasing the seven-course bundle or taking courses one at a time. Accelerator training will equip you to understand your community’s unique situation, assets and challenges, and share best practices from other places that have accelerated their progress, regardless of location or size.
In a group
ICF provides special pricing for group sales, and a helpful guide on How to Use the Accelerator Courses. This is where Accelerator Training offers great value. You can, for example, share the course on workforce development with educators, or the innovation course with business or nonprofit leaders. The content will help create a common understanding and validate your plans from the example of other communities. It will empower a broad coalition of leaders to carry your development strategy forward. Contact ICF for group pricing
Workshop options
ICF can provide workshops in one of two formats to meet your needs:
- Hybrid workshops in which groups take a course independently, then gather for an online workshop to review what they learned, exchange questions and answers, and gain additional insights from guest speakers.
- In-person workshops based on ICF’s unique strategy and content but focused on the unique needs of your community in its Intelligent Community journey.
