The Buzzing Marketing Strategy that Generates Leads

by Edu-Advisor, posted in Businesses Work-Learn Insights, Marketing Professionals

All of the FANNG companies used the educational system to launch their tech empires. Facebook was able to launch it’s network successfully in schools. Amazon by selling textbooks, was able to launch successfully in schools. Even Apple launched by creating computers and marketing them in schools. Netflix and Google also engaged in developing their products for and with students.

Following the logic of these leading brands, how can you successfully reach a new customer base and add value to your brand? Launch career-focused projects working with schools. You may not have a product that quickly translates to the academic world but there is one opportunity that all companies have that will break barriers and establish your brand in the educational environment and that is career-focused educational experiences.

Because you have a business to run and you can’t dedicate all of your time and resources to marketing future career opportunities in schools, Dream2Career created a platform that makes quick, easy, and cost-effective connections for you.  Our platform organizes and promotes your student-relevant programs such as badges, internships, camps, career fairs, lectures, job shadowing, hackathons, mentorships programs, and other training-based collaboratives in schools across the nation.

If you don’t have any workforce programs or events, don’t worry D2C has your back. Simply create a training recommendation and benefit by promoting your brand, your innovations and your career opportunities to the local student market. Using Dream2Career’s platform, you will effectively reach parents, students, and educators driving them to your community and career pages; forever embedding your brand’s value in the minds of these new customers.

Dream2Career’s mission is to help students find on-ramps to sustainable careers and we are thrilled that workforce development has become a marketing buzzword.  Businesses are benefiting with access to new customers, fresh marketing content, and a new talent pipeline. Students are gaining access to brands and careers that they never knew existed. These collaboratives are changing communities and preparing students for the future world of work. Join us: Ignite and inspire tomorrow’s workforce TODAY!

Introducing Edu-Advisor: Inspiring Student Success

by Edu-Advisor, posted in Admissions Professionals, HR Professionals, Solving the Work-Learn Problem, Workforce Development

Dream2Career developed a student-centered solution that helps users identify on-ramps to sustainable careers based on recommendations from industry leaders and educators. Now, students can find information about educational experiences and programs offered locally that align with their career interests. Access Edu-Advisor and find an educational ecosystem that is cost-effective, easy to use, and most of all, it helps students succeed.  

The platform will always remain free for students, parents, and educators. Organizations that wish to post recommendations, programs, or events will pay a nominal fee for each listing. The intention is to keep the posting costs down so that small businesses have the opportunity to list their training recommendations and educational experiences too.  Consequently, most of the jobs created come from small businesses in towns across the nation, not the large companies that we read about every day.

Using this radical redesign Edu-Advisor is able to reach students with the right information so they find the programs that match their career aspirations. We point students to all possible educational on-ramps including things like on-the-job training, apprenticeships, certificates, badges, licenses, associates, and bachelors degrees, not to mention unique experiences like franchising, incubators, and business succession opportunities. We help students find funding for schools and we categorize educational exploration activities like job shadowing, camps, hackathons, career expos, competitions, mentorship programs, and educational adventures. Users can quickly find real-time, organized, solutions to career-related training questions from local industry experts.

We would love to partner with your organization and your community to help students succeed, feel free sign up at Dream2Career or learn more by contacting us.
