"In a year’s time, we had increased female enrollment in our IT & CS Department from 149 to 226 and male enrollment had also increased from 751 to 1009 male students. I don’t think we would have ever done that if it wasn't for the Training"

"The greatest benefit was seeing almost immediate results. We saw overall growth in all four targeted programs: Cybersecurity, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Construction."

"Before the Training, I felt like I was just spinning my wheels... After the training, Lawson State went from only 2 female students to 11 in just over a year.”

Nancy Wilson, Assistant Dean, CTE, Lawson State Community College (AL) *Male enrollment increased from 50 to 90 in one year, and to 158 in 18 months.*

"Donna Milgram’s support was key to nearly tripling enrollment in our new Robotics Manufacturing program—from 10 to 29 students (full capacity)—Her strategic outreach and hands-on support made a real difference. Donna helped us reach our enrollment goals and took work off our plate during a pivotal time. I’d welcome the chance to collaborate with her again."

I’d been spinning my wheels for 3 years trying to recruit more students into our agricultural technology program.... The training gave us exact detailed recruitment instructions... I am confident that with the detailed Recruitment Plan we developed during the training we will have success."
