Findadmission’s new feature offers universities the chance to e-meet prospective students in a rapidly changing, post-COVID world.
Findadmission has been a part of the international education industry since 2017, offering students from all over Africa the chance to study abroad, and connecting them with their dream university.
Their website brings the search, comparison, application and enrollment into a university, all into one website. And now, they’re adding a Virtual Education Event feature to the mix.
The Virtual Education Event features include: the ability to voice, video or type to the attending student, the ability to customise your virtual booth, and depending on your price plan, even gain the information on the students that visited your booth once the fair is over.
“One of the biggest challenges over the past 10 years for recruiters is the adoption of technology for student recruitment; however, the uncertainty, volatility and the complexity that COVID-19 brings to our world has brought a paradigm shift to the practice that will define the industry for decades,” said Folabi Obembe, President and CEO at
Findadmission.
“I’m extremely proud that through my leadership at Findadmission, we are able to provide the solution that allow recruiters to connect, chat, speak and recruit prospective students from the comfort of their homes,” Obembe continued. The customisation aspect of the new virtual event feature will allow universities to really make an impact on perspective students, create awareness and widen their student pool, all without leaving their work from home setup.
In light of the current pandemic – of which has many universities questioning what the future holds for them – Findadmission has even included a free, basic plan that will allow any university that signs up with them to use this feature. There is even the option for an
institution to upgrade their plan to a silver, gold, or platinum membership, each offering their own additional perks.
With travelling currently out of the question for both universities and most citizens, there’s an add-on option available where institutions can hire local staff in Africa to manage their applications for them.
With some other companies offering a virtual education event for upwards of £7,000 just for a standard package, Findadmission has ensured that their cost is budget-ready in such a time of crisis.
For as little as £299 a month, universities can purchase the silver plan and unlock several site-wide perks, including the previously mentioned customised displays at a virtual event. In short, Findadmission will be allowing institutions to reduce their budget in a time of crisis, all without sacrificing quality.
