Professional Development: Coaching to Engage and Retain Program

Engage to Retain

Universities report an average retention boost of 5 to 10% when advisors and coaches complete one of the Coach Training EDU’s programs. The boost comes from the increased engagement students have when working with a trained and certified Academic Life Coach.

The Engage to Retain program makes a real difference in the lives of advisors and thus students, creating a positive university culture where people speak a common language and have a similar mindset proven to help students thrive.

The largest and most recent case study is Coach Training EDU’s 2016 project with the University of Oklahoma. The university trained 28 staff members, across 6 different departments. Training and certification along with several other retention policy changes resulted in a 30.9% reduction in dropouts from Freshman Spring to Sophomore Fall. The retention rate also jumped from 86.1% to 90.4%. That is 186 more students who stayed in school.

Other universities have reported as much as a 13% jump in retention among students on academic probation or behind in graduation hours.
