LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Inner City Visions offers 24-hour virtual support services through ‘Angelito’, an app to ensure at-risk children and families safety from human trafficking

Alfred Lomas, founder and Executive Director of Inner City Visions (ICV), and his team take the next step in expanding their initiatives through the creation of ‘Angelito’, an app that aims to prevent the exploitation of families and sex trafficking of at-risk children.

The community-based organization has created promising results of harm reduction at the epicenter of South Los Angeles and continues to operate and make societal improvements within that community. ICV’s anti-trafficking efforts have resulted in an 85% success rate based on a one-year programming retention process outcome (2017).

The organization’s work continues to expand as they propose a new, virtual outlet in support of victims facing risks of exploitation and sex trafficking.

‘Angelito’ aims to establish a safe space away from violence by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for strategic assistance and to prevent harm ideation. The app serves as an easily accessible, virtual lifeline that provides 24-hour support for victims and trafficking survivors in order to reduce the high recidivism rates as a result of the existing gaps in other services. It consists of emergency response and critical care support, connectivity for high-risk trafficking survivors to essential services, algorithms supported to prevent harm ideation, data recovery for strategic interventions and prevention efforts and more.

‘Angelito’ is engineered to appear as a gaming app at first glance as a way to protect users from pimps and controllers. This hidden feature functions as a safety measure that will less likely draw a perpetrator’s attention, allowing a client to use it without the fear of getting caught.

The app highlights ICV’s unique ability to engage and connect with Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth (CSECY). ICV aims to have ‘Angelito’ be available for installation through Apple IOS and Android applications and is set to be released in the fall of 2025.

With increasing competition in K-12 Education to attract and retain students, a recently published blueprint from Info-Tech Research Group will provide schools with a clear path to optimising enrollment management. By focusing on key areas such as improving operational efficiency, reducing administrative workload, and enhancing family engagement, the global research and advisory firm’s new resource is set to equip schools with the tools needed to streamline processes and make informed decisions when it comes to leveraging the power of emerging technologies. With data-driven insights and practical strategies, IT leaders in schools can select the right enrollment system, ensuring long-term success and a better overall experience for students and families.

SYDNEY, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The K-12 educational sector is facing increasing competition as schools seek to attract and retain students while managing complex administrative tasks. Enrollment management systems play a critical role in addressing these challenges, yet schools often struggle to evaluate and implement the solution that best fits their unique needs.

Info-Tech Research Group released its latest blueprint, Optimise Enrollment Management for K-12 Education, to equip school IT leaders with the guidance they need to seamlessly integrate modern technology, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen family engagement, ultimately optimising enrollment strategies for sustained success.

‘The educational sector is rapidly transforming as schools and districts invest in technology to enhance their enrollment processes,’ says Mark Maby, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group. ‘Enrollment management systems offer comprehensive tools to simplify various aspects of the enrollment process, including application management, automated workflows, centralised data management, personalised communication, and document review.’

Info-Tech’s data-backed resource highlights common challenges schools and their districts encounter when evaluating and selecting an enrollment management system. Many institutions fail to fully recognise the long-term value these systems can provide, resulting in missed opportunities to enhance operational efficiency and improve the student and family experience. The process of selecting the right vendor adds another layer of complexity, as schools must carefully weigh features, costs, and scalability in their decision-making process.

‘Automated workflows manage tasks such as lotteries and wait lists, while centralised data management ensures secure and accessible student information,’ explains Maby. ‘Cloud-based solutions provide scalability and accessibility, allowing administrators to manage processes from any location.’

To ensure schools are equipped to overcome these challenges, the firm recommends a proactive approach that includes evaluating system scalability, automating processes, and aligning enrollment goals with broader institutional objectives. By assessing specific capabilities and future needs, schools can select enrollment management systems that offer both immediate and long-term benefits, ensuring smooth operations and a positive experience for students and their families.

Key Benefits of Effective Enrollment Management:

In the Optimise Enrollment Management for K-12 Education blueprint, Info-Tech highlights the following three key advantages of effective enrollment management that can significantly transform operations for educational institutions:

Improved Efficiency: Automating enrollment processes reduces administrative burdens while centralised data management ensures that all relevant information is secure and accessible from a single location. This approach results in streamlined communications and the elimination of redundant tasks, helping schools operate more smoothly while saving time and resources.

Enhanced Family Engagement: A user-friendly interface, automated notifications, and personalised communication options all culminate in an advantage that fosters stronger connections with families, ensuring they are informed and involved throughout the enrollment journey. This approach also promotes equitable access to essential resources, ensuring that families have all the information they need at their fingertips.

Data-Driven Decision-Making: Schools can leverage advanced reporting and analytics tools to monitor and gain actionable insights into enrollment trends, performance metrics, and areas for improvement. This data-driven approach enables better decision-making, allowing institutions to track and monitor progress effectively and adjust strategies as needed.

By leveraging Info-Tech’s comprehensive blueprint, schools and their districts can make well-informed decisions about selecting and implementing an enrollment management system tailored to their unique needs. With a focus on increasing operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and long-term growth, this guide will equip school IT leaders with the necessary tools to enhance their enrollment strategies and create a more streamlined and engaging experience for students and families.
