Retention Efforts
Begin retention efforts with recruitment; devote as much energy to retention as to recruitment. Target recruiting at those whom the program is best equipped to serve. Emphasize placement, orientation, counseling, and advising early in the program. Follow up inactive students with phone calls; have an ongoing process for identifying and tracking these student.
I agree with you Mrs. Hallman, as well and if the student is having problems with transportation, see if there's someone who lives in their area.
Kimberly ,
Great list of strategies for getting students into the programs and keeping them there. This is what makes our work so important. We are helping them to create futures for themselves.
