Intake Screening

What's the connection between intake, orientation, and retention?

Intake and orientation are your opportunity to welcome students to your program and determine their needs, goals, skill levels, and education and work backgrounds. Engage your students at the beginning, and they're more likely to have higher retention and completion rates. Use those proven intake strategies – building relationships, ensuring that students understand their options and your program expectations, and helping them identify the steps in their learning journey – and you'll have students more engaged in and responsible for their education!

With an effective intake and orientation process, you'll create a learning environment that works with each of these factors. You can promote student retention rates, improve learning gains, and build overall program success.
