My college utilizes training books that require new employees to go around the school and introduce themselves to important roles in each department and to also perform interviews in these situations. This is an excellent format for new employees to become comfortable with the different departments within the school and to ask the questions that will assist them in growing and learning about what the school has to offer.
I have a lot of knowledge about my institution. We have weekly director's meetings where we update the other departments with activities of the previous week and upcoming events. We then have department meetings to inform our entire staff of pertinent information.
I rate the my knowledge high. Training at our institution is extensive, and there are many support things in place for continued learning and questions that may arrise.
I'm in my 11th year of doing inside and outside admissions. I believe that one of the best ways to learn about a particular program is to speak with the program director and/or other faculty members.
I'd ask the teacher/instructor to tell me what he or she thought were the selling points of their program. And I wasn't afraid to ask questions of that person.
I would say really high. I have been here for awhile and feel i am pretty up to date. I can always learn more and since education is always changing i will never be done learning about the school.
I would rate my knowledge of my institution very high. It helps a great deal that I am a graduate of the institution giving me some personal insight into the life of a student. I also make a point to attend as many open houses, senior days and summer programs as possible.
I would rate my knowledge as very knowledgable. The school will call a sudden conference call for the whole admissions team if something changes that we need to know instead of waiting for a particular meeting day or scheduled get together. The school as a whole is very concerned with making sure we have the correct knowledge and answers reference our products and school in general. I also make it a habit to search out department heads when at the campus and seek information about any changes that are, have, or will happen to a program. I then follow up to see if that change has been implemented.
I rate my knowlege as being high. I pride myself on being the resource people come to for answers.
I have been here at this school for 9 years and feel I am very much on top of and infromed about my school and changing info. We also have a Knowledge on line school for all employeees
I would rate my knowledge of the institution pretty high especially since I have experience as both an Admissions offcer and student. I can see the process from both sides. Recently, in Admissions we had a secret shopper at a time when the Admissions department was unware of it taking place. I was told later, after the fact that I was secretedly shopped and was given a score of 96% out of a possible 100%. As a result, I was told I did fairly well in the interviewing process.
I feel that I am VERY knowledgeable about my university, I have been with the company for over 5 years and training is VERY different than it was for me but I feel that my trainers prepared me for my position.
I agree with you, CJ!!! In order to be truly knowledgeable, you must be willing to ask questions and continually grow. No one can ever know everything!
I too feel there is always something to learn or improve upon. Keeping informed is not only a matter of attending training sessions but of asking questions of our DOA, program Chairs and senior ADA's. It's an ongoing process!
I would rate my personal knowledge as very high. I have received excellent program training when I first was hired. I also have received additional training as new things come up.
I feel that I have a good grasp of our programs and what our school offers potential students.
I rate my knowledge of my institution as very high. Our Training Department spent the first few weeks upon hire ensuring that I understood as much as possible about the institution including its programs, how to qualify candidates following the specified script and any information relating to compliance. My manager also spends a great deal of time on a regular basis informing myself and my team of any new changes and how to adhere to those changes.
I rate my knowledge very high. I've only worked here for about 9 months, but during that time, I've reviewed all available literature not only about my school current offerings and programs, but also about it's history
I would rate my knowledge of this institution as a seven on a ten point scale I only started a few weeks ago and this knowledge will be a work in progress.

Very high. My director made it a part of training as a new hire to meet with all department chairs, Student Services, and to visit our other learning sites to familiarize myself with our institution, who the faculty/staff are, and what each place looks like on the inside. this made it easier to describe and explain what we have to offer to potential stduents.
