Explore Your Future in Hospitality Tool
This robust virtual world will feature multiple vignettes that allow a potential student to explore what hospitality is, the careers that an education in hospitality management may lead to (both traditional and expanded thru luxury and beyond), our institutions and various campuses, alumni testimonials, and finally, take a quiz to see what type of job in hospitality may be a good fit for them and which of our institutions offers the degree to get them there. Best of all, when they're done, you and your RAD will receive the information not only of what the test said, but also what else they spent time looking at. So, even if they tested with a high aptitude in finance, if they spent an hour checking out ESE Management, you are better prepared to counsel them.

Geobundling Scenarios & Costing Tool
If you've been around LHE for any length of time, you've heard the term Geobundling. Done correctly, it is a very powerful tool during the counseling process. But it can be hard to explain and a mathematical nightmare to calculate costs during a counseling session. Not anymore. With this tool, students can select their program and the school from which they want their degree. Then, the tool will show them what campuses are available to select in which terms. They can explore the campuses, learn about the benefits and unique aspects of each, and then select a campus for each semester. The tool will auto calculate as they go in whichever currency they select. When they are done, you and they will get a copy of their information, and so will their RIO file. But it gets better: they will also be able to click and share on social media - without pricing - the sequence of campuses they've selected so that they can brag to their friends about all the cool places in which they are about to study.
Exciting New Tools Coming to the Field
By the EMD Senior Enrollment Operations Team
Since the Marbella Global Leadership Summit in December, we have been hard at work preparing the creation of two unique and innovative tools for the global enrollment teams. After listening to feedback from EC groups across all regions of the world, some common themes emerged. This included the need to create a dynamic online tool to bring to life the value of geobundling and introduce students in the exciting world of hospitality.
This week, a launch meeting was held at the Clarens office with the key stakeholders responsible for providing the content required to develop these two web and mobile based tools, and in the coming weeks beta testing them in order to ensure we "got it right" before releasing for general use. The planned launch date is April 1st. If you are interested in participating and having a voice in the development of these tools, please send Joe Monastero an email to that effect. So, enough anticipation building... what are these tools you ask? here is a preview. Note, even the names are under review and will be finalized as we get closer to completion.
