TRAINING TUESDAY PODCAST 103 (SCHOOL RECRUITING PROGRAM PART 3)

THIS WEEK:  School Recruiting Program Part 3 (Pre-Visit)

This week we discuss intelligence data gathering prior to establishing a unique high school recruiting plan.  We look at “report card” information available on most Department of Education websites.  We also pick through District and School websites to learn how we might engage a high school with the ARNG story.
