Teaching the Grown Ups: Adult Education Coordinator’s Business Card
Adult education is an ever growing field that attracts professionals from many walks of life. Assisting adults in getting important qualifications, honing their natural skills and finding useful employment are all the realm of the adult education coordinator. An adult education business card should be practical, professional and easy to read.
Reflect the color scheme and design of the school, college or educational institution associated with the adult education program. This is one of the many instances where being overly creative and individual with your business card design doesn’t work. Conforming to established color schemes will let potential students know you are part of an existing team.
Consider putting a portrait picture on your adult education business card. School can be overwhelming at any age but for the returning adult, it can be a very intimidating and scary place. A friendly face to recognize in the hallway can go a long way to helping new students feel part of the student body.
Choose a sturdy cardstock and quality printing for your adult education business card. A thicker card tells potential students and colleagues that you are reliable, stable and staying around. Light flimsy card can make you seem unreliable as well as cheap or not invested in your position.
Use the back of the adult education business card for listing that year’s class schedule with dates that stay constant throughout the year. If you hand out a card to each new student, you’ll be lucky to get one box of cards to last a year. Your card can act as a quick reference to important dates as well as remind students of your contact information.
The adult education coordinator is one of the most important positions in the adult education field and must liaison with students and faculty as well as lawmakers and prominent members of the community. A professional, sturdy well designed and conforming business card sends the right message to all you meet.
