Developing and maintaining good relations with former pupils (and also with former parents and staff) can be hugely beneficial for any School or College. However the rapid growth of the Internet, and especially Social Media, means Schools & Colleges have to work much harder and smarter to add value to the Alumni experience, to connect and engage ‘old boys’ and ‘old girls’.
There is undoubtedly massive opportunity for starting and growing Alumni Relations online, to complement traditional networking and events (reunions, careers guidance, mentoring, work experience etc).
This 1-day introductory/intermediate ‘Introduction to Alumni Relations Online’ seminar, developed over the last 10 years, has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the key aspects of digital Alumni Relations that should be at the centre of your institution’s development and fundraising strategy.
The course will be of interest to all staff and volunteers currently in an Alumni Relations, development and/or fundraising role, who are relatively new to using digital channels and platforms or who want to review their current online activity.
This seminar will also be useful for those about to take responsibility for launching an Alumni Relations initiative and helpful to Senior Management and Governors responsible for the development of the wider School or College community and for planning celebrations and special events.

No educational institution should ignore the power and impact of video as a learning and communications medium. Video is engaging and a primary (often preferred) source of information for all generations, especially youth. Cisco has predicted that by 2016 video will account for over 90% of Internet traffic.
Video should be central to your marketing and admissions strategy (and wider communications activity). Schools, Colleges and Universities large and small are experiencing huge success with YouTube particularly, demonstrating the positive impact video can have on their pupil/student recruitment.
YouTube is owned by Google and is the second most popular search engine after Google. No question, prospective pupils/students, their parents and key influencers are searching for your institution and competitors on YouTube today. What are they finding? When they visit your website how are they engaged by the content?
This ‘masterclass’ workshops on YouTube (Multimedia) runs for 3 hours and will help you understand what others are doing and what you could be doing to use video effectively, and how to do it. (If you are already an advanced user of YouTube please email us before booking.)
