Admissions Representative - Higher Ed. jobs in Oklahoma City, OK

You remember those final weeks and months of high school...wondering what comes next? For most high school kids, it’s the biggest decision they’ve had to make in their young lives. They think their choices are limited: spending four years at college, or going to a local community college, or going straight to work, probably for minimum wage. But there is another awesome option, and it’s one that many high school students don’t consider...until they meet you – a high school admissions representative from one of the country’s best trade schools.

The successful applicant for this role will be responsible for presenting the career opportunities, the school, the campus, and its programs to prospective students. As the job title suggests, you will be working primarily with students who are graduating high school, and the majority of your time will be spent out on the road. This role includes visiting students in their high schools and at career fairs, as well as following up with prospective students in their homes, to review the school, the program, and the career opportunities with their families.

Role Responsibilities:

Working as part of the busy Admissions team, the successful applicant will conduct all admissions activities with the highest integrity and business ethics, while adhering to state, federal, and company policies and regulations.

• You will utilize a proprietary and consultative communication methodology when working with prospective, future, and current students.
• Being able to work with other departments, ensuring a positive work environment that puts the needs of the student first, is paramount.
• The successful applicant will be required to travel to high schools and career fairs in a set region, as well as to the homes of prospective students to review the program with their families.
• You will help and consult with prospective students on the benefits of education in the trades.
• It’s important that you accurately and compliantly communicate the campus features and program information to prospective students.
• Not only is it necessary, but the successful applicant should want to participate in follow-up activities with enrolled students to check on their progress through their program.
• You will be expected to forecast new student numbers to enable the school to accurately account for classroom occupancy.
• You will input all activity into our database management system in a timely and accurate manner.
• One of the most satisfying parts of working in Admissions is attending our semi-annual graduation ceremonies, which is where you get to see students complete their journey – proudly walking the stage at their graduation; attendance is mandatory.

Travel:

As a motivated self-starter, you are used to setting a schedule, managing both your appointments and your time. This is important in this role because you can expect to spend approximately 60% to 90% of your time traveling to high schools, career fairs, and students’ homes to meet with students and their families.
