Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Who do I talk to at high schools

What are some of the ways other than using a lead generating company to gain prospective students from high schools? I understand using events such as career day and others, but who should I contact at the school to gain permission or guest speak in classes?

Admissions Staff Training Process

By now you are gaining an understanding of the Admissions Staff Training Process. The goals are for you to know everything currently possible about the Florida Statutes and Rules that affect all admissions staff, and for you to know as much as possible about your institution and your job as you perform your key role - to enroll qualified students who will benefit from your programs. Training specific to your institution is additional training offered by your supervisors.

admissions process

Almost every part of the admissions process requires that forms be completed and signed properly. We have already discussed many of them and suggested that you practice completing these forms. This is all very serious as the enrollment agreement and admission process is regulated by the Florida Commission for Independent Education and your accrediting body, as well as Title IV if you are accredited and Title IV approved

Marketing Plans

Typically the advertising and marketing plans are designed by your Marketing Department or Admissions Director. Ideally you will be informed about the marketing plan. If not, ask for the plan and samples of the marketing efforts. Prospective students will initially learn about your institution based on the ads and promotions they see.

Meetings with the coworkers

Most institutions have scheduled meetings for all faculty and staff. If the institution is accredited a certain number of meetings may be required. It is important that you know when these meetings will be held so that you can schedule to participate. Ideally an agenda of topics to be discussed will be issued in advance of each meeting.

Programs designed for re-entering adults into a high-tech workforce

Many people who haven't grown up with social media are sometimes hesitant to enroll in school because they are concerned about social media and how it will be utilized as an educational tool.

Is it more effective to have a prospect look at site instead of a visit the campus for question about the schools history?

INTEGRITY in Admissions???

I find this an issue in most schools I have worked in and I understand we all have goals but we are not commissioned. I still don't get why reps feel the need to steal enrollments and referrals???

Tranferability of credits

Very important ! At least 25 percent of the credits or hours required for completion of a program must be earned through instruction taken at the institution awarding the credential.

Staying up-to-date

In addition to maintaining a resource book, we have to stay up-to-date. To obtain information, we have many tools we can utilize, some of them are: Internet, business publication, local newspapers, etc...

Storing Student Documents

Would a fire safe, lockable file cabinet serve as a secure place to store confidential documents. Would using a back up hard drive be recommended?

Erica Drew

Scholarships

What forms would I need to be able to offer a scholarship. I would love to help young under privileged students at my institution. I was lucky to be able to take the Cosmetology course at such a young age and it has developed into a great career. Erica Drew - The Institution of Advanced Styles

The Resource Notebook

I found it handy.As I sit down with a prospect student, I go back to double check any question before I answer it.

Aylin Tito

Social Media

Social media is a great tool for marketing and referrals. I think that reps have to be careful when becoming "Facebook" friends with their students. Personal accounts should not be used for school issues.
