It is sad that education is a business.
Any type of 'bad customer service' or experience will stay with a student long term (and very difficult to overcome). It is vital to provide students with positive and supportive interaction to motivate their success.
Caring for our students and offering great customer service to them and to each other are great ways to help our students and our organization to be successful.
Im going to have my students create vision boards
We must support our students
Customer service approach is the best way to approached students and staff.
Every person in every department has a responsibility to provide the student with excellent customer service and assist them with focusing on their vision. We all need to truly care about their success and assist them where we can to achieve that.
We need to listen to the students' needs and concerns to help them reach goals.
Being an edupreneurial is essential in the university context, as it allows students to access innovative experiences that promote their personal and professional development. Providing quality service not only enhances academic training but also equips them with the tools and skills to face the challenges of the labor market. The combination of education and entrepreneurship motivates students to think creatively and find effective solutions. It also strengthens their confidence and autonomy, which are key to future success. Thus, being an edupreneurial directly contributes to the well-being and comprehensive preparation of students.
seeing is believing, convincing a student that they can succeed can be quite the challenge but can also fuel success
I learned that customer service is the responsibility of all employees in the school.
It is important to identify gaps or challenges in the education system and create practical solutions. This could involve addressing issues like accessibility, quality, engagement, or affordability in education. We should keep in mind that not all students come from the same background and have the same opportunities growing up. So we should try our best to give them the same opportunities when it comes to education.
I found it interesting that our students should be treated like customers
Students always need to know that they matter and their dreams can come true - to understand that life will always throw obstacles but it is in how we handle them that will help them succeed
Customer Service goes a long way.
its just business mindfulness. keeping a positive experience in all facets of the institution translates to what the customer sees and experiences.
I’ve learned the importance of embracing the "EduPreneurial Spirit," where we see ourselves not only as educators but also as part of a larger business working together for our students' success. Understanding that our school has both an educational and business side helps me see how every role, whether it’s our receptionist, admissions department, financial aid, or instructors, contributes to student success and retention.
I apply this by keeping in mind that every interaction with a student is a chance to make a positive impact, both educationally and in their overall experience with our school. Whether it’s mentoring them to help clarify their vision or ensuring I provide well-prepared lessons, I focus on the bigger picture: helping students succeed in their goals while contributing to the success of our school.
Students are customers and should be treated with respect. Having said that, they are students, and we can motivate students to achieve their goals and work through or around any negative HABEs they may have. We can also demonstrate role model professionalism that our students may adopt as their own.
One of the biggest walkaways from this segment is ownership of our behaviors, actions, and attitudes. When both the faculty and staff work together to improve the overall quality of education for the students it makes a major impact. It is much easier to be effective by embracing our differences as opposed to working against them. We can all learn from one another which provides an EduPreneurial advantage in the long run.
