<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: small; background-color: transparent;"></span>To boost the I&E ecosystem here at the University of the Virgin Island, there are certain projects that we believe can be implemented to address the key issues relating to I&E. These include the following which are listed below.</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">One of the key issues that stifles our I&E ecosystem is the lack of resources. This issue can be resolved or minimized by the implementation of an equipped maker space on Campus. This would afford students the opportunity of amore hands on approach to learning as well as create a zone for the inclusion of creativity in self-directed learning.</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Students should be aware of all the entrepreneurial activities that cater to them on Campus. Alerts can be sent to students of the different meetings/workshops that will be held relating to our I&E system here at the University of the Virgin Islands</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Different programs and resources should be implemented that would target the enhancement of students stemming from the different majors.</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Tactic 1: Workshops and Seminars held outside of classes headed by Faculty members who all have their own businesses. This opportunity should be offered free of charge to students.</span>
<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Tactic 5: Although there are several entrepreneurial classes here at UVI we think that it would be more effective to have a greater amount course that would focus specifically on the tactics listed above.</span>
