Student Retention Materials 

As students get ready to arrive on campus, it’s important to prepare them ahead of time and keep them engaged during the first few months.  

The Student Retention Toolkit has all of the resources you need, from postcards and welcome letters to journey posters and dorm life preparations. It includes multiple sections: 

As you’re preparing for a new student to arrive, you can share the 30-Day Pre-Arrival ChecklistIntroduction to Dorm Life and Preparing for Job Corps with them. Hang the Job Corps Journey Poster around campus to show students what their path can look like as they go through the program. 

Once they arrive, retention becomes increasingly important within the first 90 days of the program. The 30-60- and 90-Day Retention Postcards are designed to congratulate students as they reach early milestones.
