An additional area of recruitment comes from collaboration between <strong>RVCC</strong>’s Career and<br />
Transfer Specialist, Enrollment Specialists, and the Coordinator of Workforce Development.<br />
This collaboration helps to strengthen the recruitment efforts so we can better serve our<br />
local populations by providing accurate and reliable information regarding the services and<br />
support that <strong>RVCC</strong> can provide. For example, Career and Transfer Services and Early<br />
College Coordinator provide guidance and outreach to potential high school and career and<br />
technical education students interested in pursuing programs at River Valley. Career<br />
Services provides interest assessments to guide students into a program path that aligns<br />
with their academic goals while the Early College Coordinator provides direction around<br />
credits, classes and dual enrollment as a liaison between secondary and post-secondary<br />
education programs and oversees the Running Start program.<br />
One program example of this collaboration is Pathway2Success. A cohort of ten students<br />
from three different high schools will complete thirty-three credits in the IT, Computer<br />
Networking or the Cybersecurity programs by the time they graduate from high<br />
school. This includes class time and experiential learning activities.<br />
The Fujifilm Digimatix (Lebanon, NH) and Hypertherm (Lebanon, NH) project is a<br />
collaborative effort between Early College, Transfer and Career Services, and Workforce<br />
Development to provide students at Lebanon High School and Thetford Academy with dual<br />
high school and college credits for classes completed at both sites. Students will also have<br />
the opportunity to learn about the manufacturing industry at these two businesses through<br />
work based and experiential learning opportunities.<br />
Career Services and Workforce Development collaborate by providing outreach to<br />
businesses. Outreach and services include advertising paid internships and employment<br />
opportunities to students at <strong>RVCC</strong> and providing career fairs. Workforce Development<br />
offers a needs assessments and provides information and resources to businesses<br />
interested in creating training programs using <strong>RVCC</strong> for credit, non-credit, and<br />
apprenticeship programs; and assists in recruiting and admitting students to <strong>RVCC</strong> who<br />
may not have otherwise utilized our services.<br />
Our core values and ethics are woven into all prospective and current student interactions<br />
by ensuring students and families are treated with respect; faculty and staff are responsive<br />
to questions and timely in communications; and by providing realistic expectations of what<br />
it is to be a successful student and what support services (tutoring, disability services,<br />
student workshops, etc.) are available as described later in this Standard.<br />
The 2018 Strategic Plan identifies goals for recruitment and retention of students. For any<br />
program holding individual accreditations from national organizations, such as those in the<br />
allied health, health science, or nursing & respiratory therapy departments, recruitment<br />
and retention measures are required parts of their accreditation reporting. Any program<br />
that does not have an individual national accreditation for reporting are subject to the incollege<br />
program review process to determine viability and measures regarding retention<br />
and graduation rates are utilized in this process. This information, coupled with other<br />
data as listed above which identifies gaps in our student demographics, provides the<br />
enrollment management team a means to promote programs to targeted populations.<br />
