What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our admissions team was swamped with follow-ups for the electrician apprenticeship program—over 12 hours weekly just chasing leads. Now, the AI integrates local BLS job data and drafts emails mentioning our 95% placement rate, feeling genuinely personal. We enrolled 28 additional students in Q3 alone, without adding staff, and cut our no-show rate by 18%."
Maria Gonzalez
Admissions Director, Midwest Trade Institute
"We were dropping leads left and right because manual outreach couldn't handle the flood of inquiries for our 12-month culinary arts certificate during spring recruitment. AIQ's system synced with our LMS portal and ramped up results in just three weeks—response rates soared from 15% to 45%, projecting a 20% revenue increase this fiscal year from fuller cohorts."
David Patel
Enrollment Manager, Pacific Vocational Academy
"For our small nursing assistant program, personalizing outreach with accreditation details and 90% job placement stats was crucial but ate up 10 hours weekly. AIQ's tool automates it seamlessly, saving that time for virtual info sessions. We've boosted qualified applicants by 35% year-over-year, filling all clinical rotation slots without overtime hires."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle personalization for different vocational programs?
We get it—generic outreach falls flat when promoting diverse tracks like automotive or cosmetology. Our AI ingests your program details, including curriculum highlights and success stories, to craft messages that speak directly to a prospect's interests. For instance, if a lead searched for HVAC careers, the system pulls in stats on your 95% job placement rate and generates an email inviting them to a virtual lab demo. It's all custom-coded to your workflow, ensuring every touch feels one-on-one. We've seen schools boost reply rates by 35% this way, without admissions teams lifting a finger for drafting. Setup takes just a couple weeks, and we train the model on your past data for accuracy.
What kind of time savings can vocational schools expect?
You're not alone if manual outreach is eating into time for student advising. Typically, our clients reclaim 12-18 hours per week per team member. Think about it: instead of spending afternoons researching leads for welding certifications, your staff focuses on yield-building activities like open houses. The AI automates prospect sourcing from sources like job boards and high school networks, drafts tailored invites, and schedules nudges—all while you own the system. One trade school we worked with cut their outreach cycle from 10 days to 2, directly filling 15 extra spots per cohort. ROI kicks in fast, often within the first month, as efficiency gains compound.
Is this suitable for smaller vocational schools with limited tech resources?
Absolutely—we specialize in SMBs like yours, where budgets are tight but enrollment goals are high. No need for an in-house IT team; we handle the full build and integration, starting with your existing tools like basic CRMs or Google Sheets. It's empathetic to your setup: we map your current process for programs like dental assisting, then layer in AI without disrupting daily ops. A small automotive school we partnered with, just 20 staff strong, went live in four weeks and saw a 25% uptick in inquiries. You get full ownership, scalable as you grow, without the subscription creep that burdens education providers.
How do you ensure compliance with education data regulations?
Compliance is non-negotiable in vocational training, especially with student data. We build in safeguards from the start, aligning with FERPA and GDPR equivalents for prospect info. The AI anonymizes sensitive details during processing and logs all interactions for audits. For example, when automating outreach for nursing programs, it only uses public or consented data, never scraping protected sources. We've navigated this for regulated clients before—think our voice AI in collections that passed strict protocols. Your custom system includes audit trails and easy opt-outs, giving peace of mind while scaling enrollments. We review everything in discovery to match your specific rules.
Can the system integrate with our existing enrollment software?
Yes, integration is our core strength—we avoid the nightmare of disconnected tools that plague schools. Whether you're using something like PowerSchool, Salesforce for education, or even custom spreadsheets for tracking apprenticeship leads, we create deep, two-way API connections. Data flows automatically: a prospect engaging with your email about electrical training gets scored and pushed to your pipeline, updating statuses in real-time. No more double-entry errors that waste hours. A client with a legacy system for culinary enrollments reported zero integration hiccups post-launch, with full sync in under a minute. It's all bespoke, ensuring your workflow stays intact while the AI supercharges outreach.
What metrics will I see to measure ROI?
We know vague promises don't cut it when justifying tech spends in education. Our dashboard delivers clear, quantifiable insights: track hours saved via automated tasks, response rates on personalized vocational pitches, and conversion funnels from lead to enrolled student. For a plumbing program, you might see open rates climb to 40%, with 20% progressing to applications—directly tying to revenue from full classes. We include a custom ROI tool projecting cost savings, like reducing manual labor by $5K monthly. It's not just numbers; we benchmark against your baselines and optimize quarterly. Schools often recoup investment in 60-90 days through faster fills and lower vacancy losses.
