A Carnegie Slate Captain on Your Team
Unexpected staff turnover, temporary leave, or hiring freezes can put a strain on your team. Our Embedded Slate Captains step in to provide on-demand, expert support, ensuring your admissions and enrollment processes continue without disruption.
Cost-Effective Flexible Support
Hiring full-time Slate staff can be costly, time-consuming, and difficult to justify on a tight budget. Our Embedded Slate Captain service offers a smarter solution that makes the most of your resources—all without the overhead or long-term financial commitment of hiring new employees. Every college and university’s needs are different, and our flexible model allows you to scale support based on your workload and timeline:
- Part-time support (up to 20 hours/week) or full-time support (up to 40 hours/week)
- Short-term (3 or 6 months) or long-term (1 year or 1+ years) contracts, with flexible options available
- The longer the engagement, the more cost-effective the pricing
- Seamless integration with your existing team
Optimize Your Slate Instance
Beyond providing day-to-day support, our Slate Captains help your institution get the most out of your Slate instance by:
- Identifying and implementing optimizations to improve efficiency
