What Intake Coordinator skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Jeremy St. John: I think reliability has become one of the most sought-after skills. Showing up on time and having a good work ethic are highly sought after skills. More and more I am hearing from my students that the employers want them to be able to use AI at work. Students able to work with AI are telling me things like "my boss says I am the most productive employee, and it is because I use AI to help me do the work." If the ability to work with AI can make you the most productive employee in the eyes of your employer, that is an important skill to have. Technical skills should continue to be in demand. People-skills, critical thinking, and systems thinking are already in demand and I think they will grow in importance simply because they complement AI.
What will help Intake Coordinators increase their earning potential?
Jeremy St. John: One way to maximize your salary is to make yourself more valuable. Businesses have problems, even their opportunities can be seen as problems. Employees are hired to address those problems. If you can gain a reputation as someone who can be relied on to solve whatever problems your employer has, they will continue to turn to you for solutions. The problem solvers tend to be the ones who get promoted. With this in mind, think about the personal characteristics, skills, technical abilities, degrees, and professional certifications that can help you become a valuable problem solver in your chosen industry.

What Intake Coordinator skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Carolyn Gascoigne: Example A: Nonprofit coordinators are often involved with planning and organizing public outreach activities. This is a good profession to enter as international companies are increasingly looking to hire individuals to help them better understand and connect to their international markets. People who enjoy travel and interacting with others, and who are self-starters, tend to enjoy this field. It may be challenging otherwise.

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Intake Coordinators?
Paige Atterholt: I think now, being in year 2 of the pandemic, I think if anything there will be more jobs for graduates. Just looking through the jobs online, there are many opportunities for graduates to get a job. I think the older community retired when things got bad, which opened the door for the younger generation.
