JOB TIPS:

Reach Out to your Community

As a study abroad agent representative, your partnership with us will thrive when it is supported by members of the broader community — so reaching out with education and information is an essential activity. Your commitment therefore determines how much you will earn. You can make up to $600 (N216,600) or more every month depending on the number of candidates you enroll to study abroad in Ukraine with us. As a Go Study In Ukraine representative, your basic take home starts with $150 (N54,000) per each candidate you bring. We can increase your pay once we discover that you are well committed. Your money will be sent to you immediately the candidate arrives in Ukraine. Regarding providing an office in your locality for you, we will pay and equip the office with all the necessary facilities once we are able to enroll at least five candidates through you. Here the targeted audience are people who want to study abroad for undergraduate programs (B.Sc, MBA, B.A) and postgraduate programs (M.Sc and PhD).

Rather than focusing on reaching the community at large, however, you may want to identify specific targeted audiences within the community to focus on for outreach and communication. This is a more focused, and less overwhelming approach with a greater likelihood of success.

To get the attention of specific targeted audiences, consider creating a communication plan to reach stakeholders who are likely to be interested in supporting your efforts.

The communication plan may include the following details for each targeted audience:

Key messages or calls to action that:
Describe the issue
Motivate people to get involved
Connect with your target audience
Stories that highlight key points of your message
Modes and/or venues for best delivering the message such as lesson centers or schools
Materials needed to deliver your message such as handbills and posters. Include your contact in the handbills
Messengers who are best-suited to deliver your message
Time-frame in which the message needs to be delivered.
Take good note of the full names, contacts and personal details of the interested candidates
Always try to reach interested candidates and be ready and quick to attend to their enquires.
Note: Do not hesitate to contact us on any questions you cannot provide the answer.

Here are some specific ideas about how to reach out to your community:

Contact the press with news and updates about the partnership. Media outreach begins when the partnership is first formed; this is an ideal time to issue a press release on the new relationship and its goals. You can also do targeted media outreach whenever there is a partnership-focused event (such as when staff from your partner organization visits your community).
Inform the community by reaching out at others’ events. You can share information about your partnership by staffing a booth at community events such as the county fair. Community groups that might be interested in learning more about the partnership include faith-based communities, health care providers, and civic groups (i.e., Rotary Club, AIDS service organizations, etc.). A presentation that includes stories, photographs, and/or video from your partner organization will be interesting and compelling to these audiences. As noted, Global Partners in Care can also provide your organization with educational and public relations materials to be used for exhibits and other displays.
Be inclusive! Think about what community groups and individuals might be interested in the partnership, and want to support its efforts. Ask committee members and hospice leadership for their ideas and suggestions about community individuals and organizations to reach out to. Engage these potential community allies by inviting them to attend your seminars and talks, offer to make a presentation to them about the work, or ask them to become “affiliate organizations” and support partnership efforts.
Use Social Media. Social media is a great way to maintain your presence online without filling your supporters’ inbox with mass e-mails. Face
book, in particular, has been successful in generating interest and organizing events for many of our member organizations and partners. Update your Facebook page regularly with current events and information about your (and your partner hospice’s accomplishments); this keeps your work active on news feeds. Create whatsapp groups and join different social media groups and always send posts related to your target. You can “friend” other organizations with which you have connections, ask supporters to “like” your page, and add relevant links to your organization’s page “favorites.”

Connect with Your Community

Local businesses, social service agencies, schools, religious institutions and clubs  may be interested in supporting the partnership, whether they currently support your hospice program or not. Members of your board of directors are, of course, a great resource for making connections in the community.

Make a plan to approach these audiences, and decide up-front what you will ask them to do. You might ask these groups to become a sponsor of, or provide in-kind support for, an event; host an event and donate the proceeds (or a share of the profits) to the partnership; invite your staff to make a presentation about the partnership, etc. Global Partners in Care can also provide your organization with educational and public relations materials to be used for exhibits and other displays.
