How do I create a Program Brochure?

Admins create internal Program Brochures to share information about available programs to travelers. Program Brochures are intuitive, easy to create and editable at any time. When a published Program Brochure is edited, all views are immediately updated.

Via recommends adding content to all recommended fields to ensure the best Program Match experience for Travelers.


To create a new program…

  1. Click Programs in the main navigation menu
  2. Click + Create Program
  3. Complete all required/recommended content fields (* indicates required field for ideal program matching with Via’s proprietary Program Matching engine that matches travelers to best-fit programs)
    1. Program Name*
    2. Program Type(s)*
    3. Language Immersion*
    4. Instructional Language(s)*
    5. Program Country/Countries*
    6. Program City/Cities*
    7. Housing Type(s)*
    8. Subject Areas*
  4. Complete other desired non-required fields

Helpful hints on the Program Amenities section:

  1. Check the box next to a section or individual amenity and click Add to Brochure for the amenity to appear on the brochure
  2. Click the green check mark to add a strike-through to the amenity - indicating to the traveler that this amenity is not included on the program
  3. Click the red 'not' icon to remove the strike-through - indicating to the traveler that this amenity is included on the program

 

Via  recommends carefully crafting content in the Eligibility section. This information appears on the program brochure and also appears to students as soon as they click Apply Now and before they create a new application. So it's prime real estate to communicate messages to students about the program!
