Recruiter's Role and Responsibilities
Your goals as a recruiter are to increase Army and Army Reserve
enlistments of college-capable men and women who are postponing
college for financial or other reasons and to reduce DEP loss.
Company commanders take ownership of ConAP colleges in their
company area. They visit the colleges and ensure each college
is active in ConAP and receives at least five ConAP forms a year.
ConAP colleges have agreed to work in partnership with Army recruiters
because they hope to enroll ConAP soldiers as veterans. They
want ConAP to work. On the other hand, if they are ignored and
never receive ConAP forms, they will drop the ConAP program.
Recruiters are encouraged to refer enlistees to local colleges.
A successful ConAP program gives recruiters credibility with
prospects, enlistees, parents and high school counselors, reduces
DEP loss and holds colleges in the program.
To implement a successful ConAP program, recruiters should:
- Give ConAP brochures, book marks, etc, to prospective enlistees,
parents, and high school and college counselors.
- As part of your sales presentation, point out to applicants,
parents, and counselors the advantages to new soldiers of making
a plan to attend college and use MGIB educational benefits. The
ConAP home college is prepared to receive transcripts and award
credit for military schools and experience as appropriate to
the student's curriculum. Having a plan to attend college also
makes for a smooth transition from military service to civilian
life.
- Encourage all enlistees to select a ConAP college and fill
out a College Referral and Intent to
Enroll form. Mail or take ConAP forms to points of contact
at the colleges.
- After the college point of contact signs the bottom of the
form and returns the bottom three copies, distribute other copies
to the Battalion Education Services Specialist, the enlistee,
and high school if the enlistee is a high school student.
- Complete the ConAP process before the soldier's ship date.
