& FREE PRIZES ! An
informative mid-day event filled with free food, prizes and giveaways is
planned for Flagler College Tallahassee to promote awareness and
consideration of the Florida Army National Guard as a viable career
option. The “START HERE, GO
ANYWHERE” event will take place April 4th and 5th
at Tallahassee Community College.
Students stopping by the event to learn more about the career
opportunities within the Florida Army National Guard and information about
being a Florida Guardsman can enjoy scaling a rock wall, venturing through
a challenging obstacle course, and attendees could end up walking away
with prizes such as carabineers and koozies.
Visitors will also have a chance to meet recruiters to discuss
opportunities with the Florida Army National Guard. “Edventure
Partners Strategic Marketing Internship Program is a perfect culmination
to Flagler College’s undergraduate business education.
The Program gives students the opportunity to take the theoretical
concepts taught through our diverse curriculum and to cognitively apply it
to a “real world” organization,” said Faculty Advisor, Dr. Richard
Leonard.
“Start Here Go Anywhere” is the culmination of a semester-long
effort by Advance Business Consulting, which consists of fourteen Flagler
College students participating in the Florida Army National Guard
Collegiate Marketing Program- a unique industry-education partnership
“This program allows for students to work for an actual client
and help to develop strategies that will be used by the Florida Army
National Guard. It is a learning experience that is truly
unique," said EdVenture Partners Program Facilitator Paul Godfry. Executive
Student Coordinator Stefanie Smith agrees, "We are so excited not
only to inform the community about the Florida Army National Guard and all
of their contributions, but also to show the community who we are as
Flagler students and the high caliber of education we are receiving on the
Tallahassee Community College campus." Before
promotional design could begin, the class conducted extensive research to
help determine a direction for their marketing campaign.
91% of TCC students are aware of the Florida Army National Guard;
however 30% of students would not consider joining because they want to
finish school and are unaware of the educational assistance programs
offered by the Florida Army National Guard.
The focus of “Start here go anywhere” is to show students how
they can still finish school and help the community at the same time. However,
the event is not the end of the road for the students at Flagler
College-Tallahassee. A post-event evaluation is necessary in order to
analyze the success of the campaign and students will research the effects
of the event on their target market. The program participants will present
the results of their research, along with an evaluation of their campaign
strategy to client representatives within the Florida Army National Guard.
This presentation is a unique opportunity for students to develop their
public speaking and presentation skills. For
