Educate & Elevate: Creating Compelling Success Stories for Key Influencers
|
Part of our outreach strategy for the Educate & Elevate California campaign is to share success stories by highlighting individual adult learners and employers that have been supported by your regional consortia.
Full Capacity Marketing (FCM) has made some changes to the AEBG storytelling data system to make it easy for
consortia to submit their success stories.
Making sure that all 71 consortia submit a multitude of stories for our upcoming campaign is an important task. We do not want to create misperceptions among legislators in not having each consortium represented by success stories and innovations.
What is the formula for creating a good success story? It's a simple three-part formula that entails briefly describing the student's or employer's challenge, the solution/program to address the challenge and the outcome. FCM's sister company,
Business U, Inc., has created a comprehensive tutorial on how to develop third party credibility with employers using the formula for creating a good success story or testimonial. The formula can be applied when creating employer success stories, as well as those for adult learners.
Click here to download the guide and
submit your stories and innovations by mid-September.
Don't miss our next communications webinar, which is scheduled for Sept. 8:
Building an Effective Outreach Plan for Adult Education: Leveraging the AEBG Educate & Elevate Campaign Toolkit.
