Student Recruitment and Engagement
How programs are marketed
Printed materials, Guidance activities
Program data collection
We look at student interest inventories and career interest inventories early on in the process. We are able to create individualized plans using that information and adjust the path to success during the students high school career. SSP's can be a great tool to document this process as time goes on. We also look at total number data, i.e.. success rate, courses offered, course enrollment, industry shifts/curricular adjustments.
