Approach
- Limited university partnerships. Unlike our competitors, we do not seek multiple university partners competing in the same market space. Our approach is to grow a limited number of non-competing university partners.
- Laser-like go-to-marketing focus. We focus on programs with high occupational and degree demand and moderate to low competition. This approach provides both parties the best chance of success.
- Build a strong value proposition. We partner with universities who are willing to design education programs that are outcome-focused (patient, student, and organization). Often this effort focuses on incorporating healthcare partner CMS and community data into program assignments and projects. This effort helps provide a return on education investment to the healthcare organization, improve patient outcomes, and positively impact the community.
- Partnerships first; marketing second. Every competitor understands how to market and uses the same approach with questionable results. We have reduced this risk through a robust partnership network. Once we start nurturing partnerships to generate enrollments, we will expand to other healthcare facilities in the local market via our strong social media marketing capabilities.
- First things first. We implement the business agreement first with healthcare organizations and clinical agreement second. Because healthcare organizations have a vested interest in their employees’ success, this approach allows us access to highly-valued preceptors and clinical placement.
- A commitment to excellence. We are the best at everything we do – from the first point-of contact with a student through graduation.
