Case Study: Jefferson Community & Technical College boosts nursing enrollment and NCLEX pass rates with Element451

Jefferson Community & Technical College Transforms Nursing Program with Element451

Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC), a public community college in Louisville, Kentucky, faced low retention and a Practical Nursing Program NCLEX pass rate hovering between 50% and 70%, well below the state average. With a team of one managing the program, JCTC needed a better way to handle pre-admissions, student outreach, and communication. Element451’s CRM and student engagement platform, including no-code forms, landing pages, events, and texting, helped support those needs.

Using Element451, JCTC streamlined pre-admissions, tracked attendance and readiness, and shifted to more effective two-way text messaging and automated multi-channel communication. The results were strong: Practical Nursing enrollment increased 133% at the downtown campus and 50% at the Carrollton campus, while NCLEX pass rates rose from 50-70% to 100% at both campuses.
