To ensure the successful completion of the project and provide comprehensive support to the learners, the following strategies will be implemented:
- Dedicated Staff Mentorship: Assign a dedicated staff member or team from Innovate Landfill Solution Canada (ILS) who will act as mentors to the learners. These mentors will have expertise in environmental science, digital marketing, data analysis, and project management to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer feedback throughout the project duration.

This may include analytics platforms, design software, social media management tools, and project collaboration platforms (Slack, Shortcut/Trello).
- Comprehensive Data Access: Ensure learners have access to all relevant data needed for their analysis and project tasks. This includes participant engagement data, recycling rates, feedback from event participants, and any other data collected during the pilot EcoJackpot events.
- Resource Library: Develop a digital resource library containing relevant research papers, articles, case studies, and educational materials on recycling practices, sustainability strategies, and digital marketing best practices to support the learners' research and project development.
