Looking Back: Our First Student Ambassador Program
In May, we launched our first Student Ambassador Program through Riipen’s LevelUp program. After a great two months with our Sales and Marketing Student Ambassadors, we are proud to share their success as well as some of the feedback they gave us about the new program. We see the value in helping students gain experience and we want to learn from their feedback to improve our Student Ambassador Program in the future. Keep reading to find out what they had to say!
Environment
From both of our Sales and Marketing Student Ambassadors, we heard many of them say that they enjoyed the atmosphere at Ensightful. After the program ended, some students described the company as “a very friendly and welcoming team of people” that created a “very comfortable and vibrant atmosphere for all the employees.” Due to the positive work environment, students felt as if they were “able to freely ask any questions and input any ideas/thoughts” they had.
Expectations
Many of the students were able to learn a lot through our Student Ambassadors program. Some of them listed that they were able to improve their:
- Verbal communication skills
- Written communication skills
- Collaboration skills
While many of the students came from a wide variety of different backgrounds in terms of knowledge and experience, the majority of them were able to gain new skills. Despite this success, we also acknowledge that some students said that they would have liked to have been pushed a little harder to get out of their comfort zone. In the future, we hope to make sure that all students communicate their goals at the start of the program. By doing this, we hope to better understand what they want to accomplish so we can push them in the right direction.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the two months, we were happy to hear that one student said that they “highly recommend the Student Ambassador Program at Ensightful to anyone looking to build new skills and enjoy working in a team.” Another student mentioned that their “overall experience was amazing. [They] learned many new things.”
Our goal was to help students learn, as well as expand our reach and gain different perspectives. We hope to improve in the future to help students gain even more out of the program!
