Trade & vocational schoolsGoal: Admissions tour booked

The AI caller that books welding and HVAC campus tours while the inquiry is still warm.

Someone ready to leave a dead-end job fills out your form at 9pm. Avoonta calls back in seconds, asks which trade and when they could start, and books them into a shop-floor tour with admissions.

The problem

Why trade & vocational schools leads go cold.

A career-changer's interest cools by the next morning.

Trade school prospects decide fast and doubt fast. The person who filled out a welding inquiry after a long shift is excited tonight. By tomorrow afternoon, when an admissions rep finally calls, they've talked themselves out of it or booked a tour somewhere else.

Your admissions team juggles tours, enrollment paperwork and financial aid appointments. Ad leads that land at night and on weekends are the ones that slip.

What Avoonta does for trade & vocational schools

Four jobs, done on every call.

Calls every inquiry in seconds

Outbound

Your AI Agent dials new inquiries from your site and ads, with the prospect's consent, and confirms which program caught their eye: welding, HVAC, electrical, plumbing or automotive.

Asks what admissions needs

Outbound + inbound

Program, day or evening schedule, earliest start date and whether they have a high school diploma or GED. Your rep walks into the tour already knowing the basics.

Books the shop-floor tour

Outbound

It checks your admissions calendar live and books a campus tour, so the prospect sees the welding booths and labs before they sign anything.

Sends aid questions to staff

Live transfer

Financial aid, GI Bill benefits or credit transfer questions go live to the right office, so nothing is answered by a guess.

If reaching inquiries in seconds adds one enrolled student a term, that tuition could cover the plan for the term and then some.

Example only. Your inquiry count, call length and enrollment rate will differ, so work it out with your own numbers.

Limits and compliance

No claims about jobs, pay or aid.

Federal rules on misrepresentation apply to schools, so your agent never states job placement rates, expected earnings, credit transferability or whether someone qualifies for financial aid. It reads only the approved program facts you give it and sends everything else to admissions or financial aid. Each prospect is called only with consent, inside 8am-8pm local time, after a do-not-call check.

Trade & Vocational Schools FAQ

Straight answers.

Can it explain our programs?

It reads from the program facts you approve, such as length, schedule and what's taught. Anything beyond that goes to an admissions rep.

Will it answer financial aid questions?

No. It notes the question and transfers the call or books a time with your financial aid office.

Can it call veterans about GI Bill programs?

It can book them with your veterans' services contact. It doesn't explain or promise benefits.

Does it work for multiple campuses?

Yes. Each campus can have its own calendar, and inquiries route by location.
