With so many workers residing in “economic limbo”–often over-qualified for high school-level jobs but without a credential–and community colleges under pressure due to declining enrollment, state Promise-style programs come at a critical time. The pandemic has caused turmoil in the job market and workers are looking to reboot their futures. Community college marketers can play a decisive role in winning new students, helping them enroll or re-enroll with state funding, and launching a new career.
The upside of the pandemic has been the growing number of openings in skilled jobs as baby boomers retired and quit. Many of these higher-paying positions require a credential and states are stepping up with new programs to help students pay for them. Students are rightly worried about debt and those with student loans often have “buyer’s regret.” But by connecting students with your state grant programs, you can help them attain their credential debt-free! The key is using many forms of outreach with clear messaging that links financial aid programs with in-demand careers. This is where Aperture can help.
