Consultation Service Delivery:

On-Site Assessment
A one to two day on-site analysis of the current enrollment situation by the President of Christian Consulting. A summary of needed interventions and strategies to achieve the college’s enrollment goals and potential is proved at the conclusion of the visit followed by a written summary/proposal within 10 working days of the visit.

On-Going Assistance
Based on the recommendations from the On-Campus Assessment, a lead client consultant works with your college and coordinates the longer term services needed to strengthen your staff and systems. The client consultant insures that specific assistance in specialized areas is coordinated with the overall on and off site consulting efforts. The clear goal in this effort is to assist the college to the point where enrollment consultants are no longer necessary.

Mentoring
Especially focused counsel is provided for new professionals allowing the benefit of years of experience to support and guide the energy of "youth." Although this service is normally coupled with on-site consultation, most of this assistance is provided by phone and Internet.
