Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
The prospective student determines the value of the institiute, it's best to be open and engage with the prospective student to ensure that the insititues misson aligns with the needs and wants of the student.
This part has taught me that it is important to show value to students early in the relationship-building process. It helps show how we can support their goals from the start. And when that happens we build trust and set a positive tone.
The value is what the potential student determines from our proposal which typically means a combination of a high-quality academic experience, relevant career preparation, personal growth opportunities, a supportive community environment, all while considering the affordability of the education, allowing them to gain the knowledge and skills needed to achieve their goals in life, both professionally and personally.
The idea is to find what the prospect's wants and needs are so that in understanding what is important to them, we can build a value proposition that is unique to their situation.
Presenting value for each prospective student is harder than I thought but it should be done in every interaction.
Learned about the reasons of importance of value and how we as admissions advisors should apply it to our students. I intend to create my own value proposition on how the school would be a good fit for the student.
From this course I've learnied that the students perspective is what really determines the value. I can make sure to demonstrate our schools opportunities for growth and advancement by informing the prospective student how we are able to meet/offer to their needs.
The value of an education at any particular institution is based on the worth of the school. NOT related to price but the value it produces in a student's career and future.
The session was incredibly insightful, providing me with valuable information on how to enhance the value of my school. I also gained a better understanding of the important factors to consider when creating a strategy to elevate our program's worth.
This remind me of John Maxwell teaching on give value to people. It's all about knowing how to serve people, what are they thirsty and hungry for and satiating that desire. The same is without our educational institution.
It is a prospective student's value of our institution that defines our value and every student is different. The goal is to demonstrate our value to every student. This can only be achieved by having a thorough knowledge or the institution as it relates to the individual student you are working with.
Subject matter is pretty straight-forward; main takeaway "value" is prospective student defined.
Understanding Value is an extension of understanding your prospective students perspective, perception. In understanding your prospects benefits, commitment, efforts and risks... you're able to form, grasp and architect their perceptions of the program, school, etc.
The value to each student will be different and will impact if they decide to enroll or not. Using the value equation, and creating "new value" helps with adjusting how to talk to each student.
