Communication is essential. I have much more to learn on ROIs.
One of the key take aways from this module is how important it is to get your campus president involved in communication with partners/potential partners. This will help strengthen the relationship and will demonstrate how valued we as an institution find the employer and the relationship we're trying to build
Strong partnerships are built by staying connected, checking in regularly, addressing concerns promptly and making employers feel valued for the time & opportunities they provide for the students. Professionalism & consistency is important in keeping successful long term partnerships.
Maintaining the idea of the employer's ROI is crucial to gaining meaningful relationships, and that can look different depending on the employer. I also appreciated ROI suggestions on a Career Services level, as that department may not always have the ability to push forward with creating new programs or offering equipment, etc.
The employer perspective has to remain at the forefront when considering ROI. What is important to them and are their priorities is what needs to be considered and focused on, in a big way, in the relationship.
It is very important to maintain communication to build lasting relationships.
From this module, I learned that maintaining employer relationships depends on consistent communication, trust, and showing ongoing value. I plan to apply this by staying in touch with employers regularly and providing resources that strengthen long-term partnerships.
At the end of the day a mutually beneficial relationship is going to have a strong ROI for both the school and the emploeyrs.
maintaining strong and healthy relationships with employers with good effective communication leads to higher ROI.
Maintaining a strong partnership will guarantee a good return on investment.
Learning more about ROI was helpful for me and about establishing internships and apprenticeships.
It was also very interesting reviewing ROI.
I have come to learn that one of the keys to maintaining long-lasting relationships with employers is to be actively aware of the current struggles they face along with ways our college can alleviate their burden through the coming generations of new hires.
It is a beneficial, reciprocal relationship for colleges and employers to collaborate together.
When employers are engaged with colleges the benefit can be monetary with upgrades as gifting to the university.
We often struggle with maintaining employer contacts but I had never considered intentionally trying to establish at least 2 points of contact with an employer. I might try that.
How making employers aware of the ROI when partnering with institutions to recruit employees.
I found it interesting in this module the effectiveness of text messaging and how much it is used. It's a mindshift from the generation I grew up in.
I also like that when an intern is hired after completing an internship with a company they are 40% more likely to retained as an employee after 5 years. It's a benefit to both parties.
There is so much to learn on ROIs. It is imperative that the school based teacher learn about the business so that the business's ROI is satisfactory.
