We set aside a few minutes during the day for each class to take the survey. We have found that giving them a set time to take it has increased our participation. The CD reminds the students during the assembly that the survey is coming up and a special lunch is given to the entire student body if the goal is reached.
Incentives for all participants; Raffle monetary incentives to 20 students who participated, posters all around the center; Speaking to students in classroom/Vocations that this survey is about their experience here at job corps and how can we make it better.
We gave students a candy bag to those students that completed survey. Those students were also entered a raffle for a chance to win one of three gift baskets. Once a student completed survey and picked up candy bag we would highlight their name, this would show which students were pending to complete survey. Counselors would send student reminders to encourage all to open and complete survey. Instructors allowed students the first 15 minutes of class to check their emails for survey.
Student notifications through email about the upcoming survey, promotions at student business, promotions at roll call/Accountability meetings.
SEA survey promotional data was used, targeted goal temperature gauge showing the daily results toward pizza party along with 1 day 1.5 hour early departure.
Ace incentive points when student forwards their “thank you” email to DCD. CMT Team competition for highest completion percentage.
Our center had an information session regarding the survey during one of the student business meetings. Also, promotional flyers were posted in classrooms and center bulletin boards. Additionally, class time was reserved for students to complete the survey.

Pizza Party. Students Completed Survey First Period, And After Training Day In The Dorms.
Students were awarded with treats, and extended recreation time.
Encouraging competition to be the highest participating center in the region. Also providing incentives such as a center cookout and activities for reaching 80% or above participation.
Use of SEA posters posted around center as well as loaded onto TV monitors hanging in various buildings on center to announce survey dates. We announce the survey dates to students at town hall meetings, as well as share feedback reports with them when they are available. All instructors announce in their classrooms when the survey is available and allow time each day of the survey for students to log onto their accounts to take the survey. In addition, the SPO offers merit points that students can use in the SPO store. Students show the SPO their “thank you” e-mail and can redeem the points for items in the store (Snack goodies, hygiene products, cards, notebooks, etc.). There are points for taking the survey (50 points) And then different bonus points associated with the day the survey was taken (another 50 points for taking on 1st day, 45 points, for on 2nd day, etc.)
