Regular meeting and email updates on the survey time window and completion rate. Having student leaders and instructors assist students with logging in to their job corps email to access the survey.
Center staff went to each classroom and trade area to allow students a Chance to take the survey and to receive assistance in logging in. All students received a cupcake or cookie for logging into the survey. Our college students met with the counselors off site to complete the survey, receiving an additional incentive for completion. We tracked all student participation on a Google sheet that gave us daily percentages and allowed us to see who was still outstanding.
We made it a center-wide event, staff informed students about the survey, times and locations were set aside for individuals who wanted to complete the survey. We also had survey parties with pizza and snacks for the students.
