Lead pipeline & programme performance

KPI Dashboard

Every lead from the jurisdiction map, the mobile app, the H2H job board and counselor referrals — tracked from capture to indenture, with the education programme that feeds it.

Read this first

  1. 416 routed leads were never contacted inside the SLA window. At the current 9.0% end-to-end rate that is roughly 37 apprentices lost to response time alone — the largest single leak in the funnel, and it costs nothing but process to fix.
  2. 354 leads had nowhere to go. These came from counties whose local is not yet on the platform, so the Council is holding them. That list is the affiliate onboarding pipeline — see Coverage gaps.
  3. Counselor referrals convert at 3.1× the site average. 47 of 214 counselor-sourced leads reached indenture. The CEU programme is the highest-yield channel per lead and the cheapest to expand.

H2H job board shows the weakest completion rate (55.0%) and the highest cost per placement. Before cutting it, check whether it is capturing career-changers who convert on a longer cycle than students.
