the client is a nonprofit institution focused on delivering practice-based higher education designed for working educators. The client supports earn-and-learn pathways that help educators advance, lead change in their communities, and strengthen outcomes for children, families, and communities through accessible degree programs grounded in real classrooms. As the organization scales its model, it seeks team members who are committed to student success and to building systems that support educators at scale.
The client is hiring an Outreach Coordinator responsible for leading and implementing strategies to recruit prospective students into the client’s degree programs. The role drives high volumes of qualified applicants through proactive outreach and consistent follow-up, supporting enrollment goals and the admissions selection process. The position requires a strong understanding of adult learners, early childhood education pathways, and equitable access to higher education, along with the ability to communicate program value to prospective students and diverse audiences.
The Outreach Coordinator serves as the primary point of contact for prospective students and plans, coordinates, and conducts recruitment events such as presentations, job fairs, partner-hosted sessions, and webinars, including in-person and virtual formats. The role provides responsive guidance through phone, email, text, and scheduled drop-in hours, tracks and reports prospective student data to assess recruitment effectiveness, and converts leads into applicants through outreach and follow-up (with performance evaluated through lead generation). The coordinator also sustains relationships with community and employer partners, collaborates on joint information sessions and distribution of recruitment materials, aligns messaging with admissions and workforce team capacity and timelines, maintains an up-to-date events calendar, and develops and manages outreach content that is reviewed and approved by the Director.
