Online Open Day of potential students. Irina Costea, Community Manager of Web2Present explains:
Online Forums ´I basically got into the skin of a student and thought; where do they look for
Internship guidance information and do people discuss about these type of HR programs? That´s
Online Interviews where I joined in, understood what they were looking for and was able to drive a
substantial amount of students to sign up for the webinar´. The end-result:
100 registrations, of which 50 live. The ones that could not attend had the
possibility to watch the recording. And above all: 40% actually signed up for
CIFFOP´s Master in HR!
C´est pas fini!
After having gathered the survey results, where all students were thanking us for
the interactive sessions as they answered a lot of the questions and allowed
communication ways normally not possible, CIFFOP was convinced. Both students
and Program Directors enjoyed the easy, interactive session and enabled new
academic students to sign up which they normally would not have reached.
Therefore, besides this creative way, online sessions have already been done to
2. inform current students, guiding them through their internship as well as even
selecting new students through online interviews. ´We already agreed to
continue these online sessions as not only do they make sense for bringing new
students, with Web2Present´s dedicated support we really feel we have a new
communication channel which we can rely on. We feel closer to the students, save
time and travel, and it puts CIFFOP on the ´digital map´, which is where today´s
students are´ adds Yasmina Jaidi. ´One of our aims is building better relationships
with our students, and Web2Present has helped us achieve that aim´.
