The questions your team needs answered
Every trade school program intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which trade or field are you interested in training for? | Knowing the trade or field lets admissions route the lead to the right program advisor instead of a general inbox. |
| Who is this program search for? | Separating individual applicants from parents, employers, and partnering schools determines who the follow-up call should actually be with. |
| What is the highest level of education completed so far? | Education level is weighted because it affects program eligibility and whether prerequisite coursework is needed. |
| How soon do you want to start a program? | Start timeline is the strongest signal of how soon a lead should be called, since 'as soon as possible' scores highest and 'just exploring' scores lowest. |
| Do you have a preference for online, in-person, or hybrid program format? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Are you able to attend a program within your local area or region? | Local-area feasibility flags applicants who want in-person training but can't attend, avoiding a wasted enrollment call. |
| What is your main goal for completing this program? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |

Built for trade school program workflows
| Cliont capability | Trade School Program application |
|---|---|
| Conditional routing | Leads who select 'a school seeking a partnership' or 'an employee or my team' route to a different queue than individual student applicants, since the buyer and next step differ. |
| Weighted scoring engine | Education level and program start timeline carry explicit weights, so a lead with some college who wants to start immediately scores higher than someone who selected 'not sure' on both. |
| CRM delivery | Qualified enrollment leads arrive in your CRM tagged by trade or field of interest, so admissions staff can filter by program before making the first call. |
| Location screening | The local-area/region question flags applicants who want in-person training but can't attend, letting staff suggest hybrid or online alternatives before booking a call. |
Common trade school program lead scenarios
Ready-now career changer
A prospect with some college and a goal to start a new career picks 'as soon as possible' to begin — the intake flags this as a priority lead for an immediate enrollment call.
Parent researching for their child
Someone answers 'my child or student' and marks the trade as 'not sure yet' — the intake still captures education level and timeline but routes it as a lower-urgency exploratory lead.
Employer-sponsored training request
A business owner selects 'an employee or my team' with a goal of 'meet an employer requirement' — this signals a different buyer and payment path than an individual applicant.
Applicant outside the service area
A lead who can't attend locally but wants an in-person program is a mismatch unless the school offers hybrid or online options — the intake surfaces this before staff schedule a call.
School partnership inquiry
Someone selects 'a school seeking a partnership' — this isn't a student lead at all, and the intake should route it to a different contact than admissions.

Trade School Program lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake tell us if a lead is inquiring for themselves, a child, or an employer?
Yes, the intake asks who the program search is for and separates individual applicants, parents inquiring for a student, employers sponsoring staff, and schools seeking a partnership so each routes appropriately.
How does education level affect lead priority?
Education level is a weighted field in the intake, so applicants who have completed high school, some college, or aren't sure how their prior education fits are scored differently before reaching your CRM.
What happens to leads who say they're 'just exploring options'?
Those leads are still captured with their trade interest and education details, but the start-timeline answer scores lower than someone ready to begin within three months, so your team can prioritize accordingly.
Can the intake screen out leads who can't attend our program's location?
Yes, the intake asks whether the applicant can attend within the local area or region, which matters most for in-person or hybrid programs and helps flag mismatches before scheduling.
Does the intake capture whether someone wants an online, in-person, or hybrid program?
Yes, format preference is a direct catalog field, so your team knows before the enrollment call whether a lead's expectations match what your program actually offers.
Can we tell partnership inquiries apart from student leads?
Yes, 'a school seeking a partnership' is a distinct option in the intake, so those enquiries can be routed to a different contact instead of mixing into your student admissions pipeline.
