Implementing a Comprehensive Data Collection Strategy to Support Student SuccessSalesforce.org
Presentation from Salesforce.org Higher Ed Summit 2018 by: Katie Connor, Career Development, Bailey Aukes, Career Communications & Analytics Specialist, and Kelly Hamilton, Career Operations Coordinator.
Over the past 3 years, the Career Development Office at the Leeds School of Business has built a comprehensive 4-year data collection strategy leveraging the integration of Qualtrics and Salesforce. This approach has allowed us to better understand student career interests and challenges in order to customize career programming, student communication, and employer outreach. From an initial focus on senior progress and outcomes, we expanded data collection efforts through the implementation of the Leeds Personal Business Plan starting in the freshman year. This Plan is integrated into classroom assignments and updated by all students throughout their college career. As a result of these efforts, we now have over 50,000 data points, ranging from first-years through seniors, regarding company/industry interests and career development needs. Our strategy has improved both student and employer engagement, increased student response rates, and consistently led to an over 95% knowledge rate of senior outcomes. Attendees at this session will learn how the powerful combination of Qualtrics integration with Salesforce can be used to develop a comprehensive picture of student interests and needs. Participants will learn how they can leverage this information to develop targeted communication and intervention strategies to support student success.
