Admissions Performance Group

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.

Student success stories

If a school has not opened and limited connections with employers, is the best protocol sending newsletters of when we open and the program's uniqueness? I would focus on the themes and press kits as of currently

Just starting

Currently we do not have any publicity in place since we aren't officially open. Yet, we don't really know where to begin or how to reach out. This at least gave an idea of where to start.

No respose

How do you deal with an outbound call that you have tried calling at different times on multiple days but never get a response? The ones that really drive me nuts are when we get a voice mail or online inquiry and then when I try to contact them back they never respond.

Sometimes I want to listen

Sometimes I want to listen but I have time constraints that keep me from fully listening. The students I am referring to are the ones that just want to come in and unload about their day. My office is inside the job center where closing the door does not always deter a student even if they can see you are busy. I don't want them to feel I don't care because that's not true. What do you do?
