Seton Hall University Institute on Work – Re: Mentoring |
“NESC helped the Seton Hall University Institute on Work provide mentoring for nonprofit clients who are graduates of the Entrepreneurial Training Institute (ETI). The mentoring helps these organizations operate businesses that help finance their community-service missions. NESC consultants have helped an ETI graduate interest three lenders in financing a project. NESC has helped another graduate complete the plan for a major sports complex by helping to satisfy requirements imposed by many government agencies.
“NESC consultants are very responsive and conscientious. Their leadership really facilitates NESC's contribution to our success and the success of our graduates by assigning the most appropriate possible consultant to each task.” |

Finally, following the selection of our preferred candidate, your diligence in performing comprehensive reference checks and help in restructuring and presenting the compensation package was very much appreciated.
