Activation and Promotion Guide: Experiences Module
This guide serves as a comprehensive outline for promoting and integrating Experiences into your virtual career center.
The Experiences Launch Guide includes the following resources:
- Announcement Templates: Ready-to-use email templates — including subject lines — for students, faculty and staff, and a 30-day reminder. Use these to introduce your community to new virtual experiential learning opportunities and micro-internships available through the Forage partnership (Forage is a platform offering free, job-simulation programs from top employers).
- Promotion Ideas: Suggestions for platform edits, such as creating a custom front-page banner, adding an alert banner, and repurposing the banner as an email header image.
- Engagement Strategies: Ideas for the career team and cross-departmental collaboration, like creating workshops around the skill-building experiences and hosting video demos for faculty and staff on incorporating the content into assignments.
- Getting Started Instructions: Steps for students and faculty to access the resource, including browsing all experiential learning opportunities and exploring experiences curated under 'Explore Career Paths' or 'Build Career Skills.'
- Automated Updates: Information on how users can sign up for personalized newsletters by opting in to curated email alerts and selecting their preferred email frequency.
- Marketing Support: Reference to the uConnect Marketing Toolkit and support articles, which provide guidance on understanding and publishing Experiences.
