Community College Recruitment + Retention Solutions
  • A strong community college enrollment strategy starts with a clear view of where you are and where you need to go. Our strategic planning services help community and technical colleges identify challenges, uncover opportunities, and build actionable plans rooted in data. Whether you’re facing enrollment declines or shifting demographics, we guide your next move with confidence.

  • Your brand is more than a logo—it’s how students connect with your mission. We help community colleges develop authentic, compelling brand strategies that reflect your values and speak directly to the students you serve. From messaging to creative assets, we ensure your brand cuts through the noise and inspires action.

  • We understand how to advertise on a community college budget, without sacrificing performance. Carnegie delivers full-funnel media strategies tailored to two-year colleges, combining paid search, social, streaming, and traditional media. With a focus on results and relevance, we turn awareness into action and drive measurable enrollment outcomes.

  • Student recruitment and retention aren’t separate goals, they’re part of a connected journey. Our services help community and technical colleges reach, enroll, and support students from inquiry through completion. Whether you're looking to boost engagement, re-engage stop-outs, or build stronger communication flows, we’re here to help you move students forward.

  • Every dollar matters, and we help you prove impact. Our ROI measurement tools give community colleges clear visibility into what's working, what’s not, and where to optimize. From campaign performance to enrollment attribution, we deliver transparent reporting that helps you make smarter, data-informed decisions.

  • Your website is often the first impression and your CRM is how you follow through. We help community and technical colleges create seamless, student-focused digital journeys that drive action and improve conversion. Whether building microsites or optimizing CRMs, we bring strategy, creativity, and technical know-how together to support your enrollment goals.
