I have been the Admissions and Marketing Director at our institution for eight and a half years. I feel that I am very knowledgable in all areas of our institution. I agree the chart is a resource tool, but not a place to list people or responsiblities. It is departmental listing for reference purposes and will guide a new employee on who to speak with to gather information regarding that position, department or program. An organizational chart is not the place to reference names of individuals for the positions or what their duties may be. That would be a lot of information to put in a tiny box on an org chart.
Suzanne,
You not only have institutional knowledge but also a wonderful teaching resource for your employees.
Jessica,
You have taken it to the next level. Great work!
Joy,
Your enthusiasm shines and the passion shows!
My Institution stands on a strong foundation built on the experience of my Directors 30 plus years and the Instructors 17 years in the industry. Add compliance to statutes, rules and regulations plus our passion for students, and love for the field in which we work and a synergy is created that benefits everyone. I am new to the Institution, but have learned much!
Isva,
Organizational charts provide a visual road map to your college.
Asonta,
Our industry has much pride. Unfortunately, those that are not compliant seem to grab the news and put out a very bad impression.
I belive that we are a very compliant school and pride ourselves in adhering to the rules & regulations
The org chart is a good start to understand who's who, but what helps me with understanding the institution is getting to know those people. I make sure that I'm familar with the personel at the different levels within our orgaization, and what they bring to that department.
I feel very confident in my knowledge about my institution. We provide extensive training programs to ensure employees are comfortable discussing program information and enrollment information with prospective students. Some of the specific areas we cover in training are: payment options, program information, scholarship opportunities, transfer policies, finding fit, student services, and enrollment policies. After starting this course, I have discovered the ramifications of not being in compliance. While I always knew that providing students with accurate information was imperative, I now can reference specific sections of the Florida Administrative Code.
I am very comfortable about the knowledge I have regarding our institution. I have been there for 11 years and we are small. We also keep great documentation so it is easy for employees to learn.
I have been with this current institution for almost a year and have been very involved with all aspects from marketing to admissions. While I feel very knowledgeable about this institution in particular, I have never worked in education before so there is a lot to be aware when it comes to being in compliance. I feel as though I am learning something new each day, which is great! This online training has also been very helpful.
I rate my knowledge about my institution very high. We recently went through our ACICS audit for new campuses. We were ready and did a great job. It takes work every week in making sure files are up to date. It is an ongoing process.
I agree with this post in a certain way. Not necessarily being on the lowest of the chart means that you don't know much or being the highest means that you know it all. But, the true importance of this chart is that the people in charge of certain departments should be able to guide through and if they don't know something they should be able to get the answer for you. We can all be very knowledgeable in our very own aspects of what are daily responsibilities are and understand the different departments and what they do. When I first started working I did not understand why it was so important to have this handy at your work station, but as I started to come across situations were I needed guidance, it became a great tool.
Ive been with my school for three years and I feel very comfterble about the schools policies and procedures.
I became the Director of our Academy when the previous Director was laid off. I had to read, research and learn as much as possible in a very short time frame as we were up for license renewal. Through the licensing process I had to design a new catalog, syllabus, raise tuition, redo the enrollment agreement and application and hire a new instructor. Our Academy only teaches one 10 month FCCPC (formerly CDA) course in 2 locations in the Florida Keys, so luckily it was something I gained a quick handle on. The CIE website and my Area Program Analyst were both great avenues of resource and support. I am continually learning my position and am always looking for ways to add to the quality of services within the Academy.
I feel i know the school very well from a student point of view having graduated from here myself.
I'm learning a whole different side now being in Admissions. I see now how much the school does for it's sudents and time is put into making this place work.
I know a fair amount about our institution and the guidlines that surround it. I am learning much more these days especialy as the regulations have shifted following July 2011.
I believe I have much knowledge in regards to our graduate program, some areas more than others. I am striving to learn and try something new everyday. If it wasn't for our students, I wouldn't be here.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate my knowledge of my Beauty Academy a 10.
I know all the program descriptions, requirements and admissions procedures in order to be successful in our Academy.
We interview and educate our prospective students before enrolling to make sure they are selecting the right program.
We want everyone to find the passion with in and that will lead to their success.
