Pathway to Graduation^TM

It's a long road and a big commitment from the initial thought process about going to school to becoming an alumni.  Whether a prospective student is seeking a traditional college or university, a career program, or a for-profit degree program, school representatives in all departments need to be experts.  Expertise means program knowledge and process knowledge.  Expertise also means having the skillset to understand and work effectively with people. 

Our training program, Pathway to Graduation^TM, does not focus on selling.  Our program focuses on people.  Students in our program learn skills that are equally applicable to student enrollment and to life.  Students who complete our programs learn how to "stop selling and start living".  Our graduates are able to be successful in any school environment.

It's no longer acceptable to provide training without measurable results.  Our training follows the model defined by Donald Kirkpatrick, originally in 1979 and later updated in 1998 in his book, 'Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels'. 

The first level measures the participant's immediate reaction to the training session.  These measures are typically taken through an end of course survey form.  The second level is usually done through an assessment or test that evaluates a participant's learning that has occurred as a result of the training. While these measures have value, they don't entirely validate the value of the training as it relates to a company's bottom line. 

The third level tracks and measures a participant's behavioral changes on the job that are a result of the training.  This is more difficult to measure because it requires observation of the participant, usually by a supervisor. To increase the likelihood of the effectiveness of this level, we provide detailed instructions to each participant's manager, along with a checklist to use for follow up observations that are specific to each training.

The fourth level is key in confirming the value of training.  It measures the results that occur after training that impact the school's enrollment and retention. 

According to the Learning Resources Network, 77% of organizations use level one measures, 36% use testing, 15% monitor post training behavior, and only 8% measure outcomes.  We help your school measure all four levels.
