Nurture learner engagement and success with retention coaching
You retain your students. They accomplish their dreams.
Even when individuals are fully committed to doing what it takes to pursue their degree, credential or career path, obstacles arise that can too easily derail them. As challenges start to pile up, the life-changing benefits at the end of the journey — the promise of economic opportunity — can feel out of reach, and motivation can fade. If a learner stops out, it’s a blow to them, their family and their institution.
Retention coaching empowers learners to clarify goals, identify challenges, organize priorities and stay connected to their reasons for pursuing their educational dream. With personalized retention coaching, institutions can keep more students on track to complete — tailoring support to each student’s unique strengths and individual barriers.
Dynamic coaching makes a measurable difference on retention rates
Working with a retention coach helps learners connect with their “why” for persisting in school — and helps them utilize the knowledge, skills and beliefs they already possess to reach that “why.” By receiving coaching tailored to their specific individual goals — and by connecting with a coach via adaptable communication channels — learners are more likely to succeed and get the most out of their education.
