What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our team was glued to emails, following up on leads for our auto tech program amid tight semester deadlines. Now, the AI drafts spot-on messages highlighting our 95% job placement stats and hands-on garage training, and we've enrolled 45 more students this quarter without extra headcount. It's like having an extra admissions officer who understands vocational hiring cycles."

Admissions Director, Midwest Technical Institute
"We were losing prospects because generic tools couldn't highlight our nursing certification outcomes or clinical rotation partnerships. AIQ built us a system that personalizes outreach based on career goals, like bridging to RN pathways—resulted in a 28% uptick in inquiries within two months, with 60% converting to enrollments. Finally, tech that gets vocational challenges like accreditation compliance."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the personal touch needed in vocational outreach?
We get it—vocational schools thrive on building trust with prospective students eyeing real career changes. Our AI doesn't replace empathy; it enhances it. Trained on your past successful communications, it generates messages that acknowledge specific pain points, like 'We understand transitioning to welding can feel daunting, but our 95% placement rate has helped hundreds like you.' You review and approve drafts, ensuring every outreach feels consultative. Unlike generic bots, this custom build learns from your feedback, maintaining that human connection while saving your team hours on initial drafting. Partners report response rates up 40% because it sounds authentic, not automated.
What kind of time savings can a vocational school expect?
You're not alone if manual outreach is pulling admins from student advising. We've seen schools save 15-20 hours weekly by automating prospect research and email creation. For example, one partner cut their lead nurturing time from 25 hours to 5, redirecting efforts to curriculum updates. The ROI is clear: with efficiency gains, they boosted enrollments by 25% without added staff. Our system quantifies this through dashboards, showing hours reclaimed and cost reductions—often $5,000+ annually in labor. It's built for your workflow, scaling as programs grow, so you focus on scalable learning outcomes.
Is this solution customizable for different vocational programs?
Absolutely, we've built for diverse tracks like automotive, healthcare, and culinary. The AI tailors outreach to program nuances—for instance, emphasizing hands-on labs for trades or clinical hours for nursing. During discovery, we map your exact needs, like integrating with your LMS to pull success stories. No templates here; it's custom-coded to your enrollment cycle. A culinary school we worked with saw personalized invites to tasting events increase attendance by 35%. This ensures efficiency without losing the student-outcome focus that defines vocational education.
How do you ensure data privacy and compliance in education?
Compliance is non-negotiable in education—we've navigated FERPA and similar regs for dozens of partners. Our systems are built with secure, encrypted data handling, storing only what's needed for outreach and purging after campaigns. AI processes anonymized data for personalization, never sharing externally. For vocational schools, this means safe lead enrichment from public sources like LinkedIn, without risking student info. We conduct audits pre-launch and provide ongoing support. One client appreciated how it flagged potential privacy issues in drafts, keeping their operations smooth and trustworthy.
What's the implementation timeline for this service?
We understand timelines matter, especially with enrollment seasons looming. Discovery takes 1-2 weeks, where we align on your pain points like manual follow-ups for trade programs. Building and testing the custom AI follows in 4-6 weeks, with integrations to your CRM. Full launch, including team training, wraps in 8-10 weeks total. It's phased to minimize disruption—start with email automation, then add voice features. A recent vocational partner went live before their fall intake, seeing immediate 20% time savings. We're builders who prioritize your schedule for quick wins.
Can this integrate with our existing enrollment tools?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that eliminate silos. Whether you're using Salesforce for leads or a custom LMS for tracking, our AI connects seamlessly via robust APIs. No brittle no-code hacks—it's production-ready code that syncs outreach data to student records, updating statuses like 'prospect attended info session.' For a school with Canvas and HubSpot, we unified everything, reducing data entry errors by 90%. This creates a single source of truth, letting you measure outreach impact on outcomes like retention rates, all tailored to vocational workflows.
