Choose from these topics: Marketing Pack Your Classes: A Publicity Workshop for Career Schools The cost of advertising and promotion can be reduced significantly by using public relations and publicity strategies. These techniques also improve student services and success. Upon completion participants have several techniques to implement immediately. Advisory Boards: How to Set up and Benefit from Them Most accreditation boards require schools to have active advisory boards. Even if you are not required, advisory boards are great for school development and marketing. When you select the right members they can provide many great resources – often at no charge. Workshop participants develop a list of ideal potential board members and draft guidelines for conducting meetings and maximizing participation. Student Services for Student and School Success How to Develop Orientation Programs That Increase Retention Orientation is a critical student service. Effective orientation helps students understand their expectations in relation to reality. Orientation is a time for bonding with other students as well as teachers and staff. Orientation is not a one-time event and should be scheduled periodically through the year. During this workshop participants develop an ideal orientation program for their school. Placement and Employer Relations to Increase Enrollments and Placement Students are often motivated to stay in school when they feel confident about getting a job. During this workshop participants plan strategies to develop a strong career services department and enhance employer relations. Graduation: It’s Impact on Retention and Enrollment It's always satisfying when students make it to graduation. When graduation is a special event, with the entire school participating, it can be a way to improve retention and increase enrollments. Workshop participants plan an ideal graduation program for their school. Alumni Relations: Marketing and Student Development Strategies Alumni provide great support to a school. They bring wonderful ideas for school improvement, can refer friends and relatives or enroll in advanced programs, can keep you in touch with the needs of the workplace, and tell you about job openings. Workshop participants plan specific programs for their alumni. Classroom and Teacher Development Teaching Adults in Career Schools Most career school instructors have little if any adult education training. In this workshop we make adult learning concepts easy to understand and show you how to immediately use the techniques in your classrooms. Operations and Administration The Wisdom of Five-Year Planning Planning for success is vital to the success of any school. Planning is often required by regulatory boards. This workshop leads participants through planning and forecasting for each year in the areas of marketing, admissions goals, education programs, student services, and operations. Meeting Magic: How to Run Efficient Action-Oriented Meetings Meetings are often required by regulatory boards. Even if you have no requirements, meetings are a great way to get information and new ideas from students, faculty, and staff. During this workshop participants learn techniques to run lively, effective, and efficient meetings and how to write up one-minute minutes. Accreditation: Yes or No? School owners often come to a point when they ask themselves whether accreditation is the best next step for their schools. During this workshop participants review the pros and cons of accreditation and how accreditation matches up to their business plans. Click here for more information. |
