All those who may hold out hopes of possibly better things to come, just make sure you have your resume updated. The final agreement calls for the orderly sale and teach out of CCI campuses. Sure some may retain their jobs if purchased, but overall the prognosis is not that good. With DOE, congress, 20 state AGs looking at you, what can you expect?
Looking back at CCI management, it was always about starts and not much emphasis about placement until DOE and AGs started breathing down their necks. In the overall "scheme" (pun intended), the student outcomes took a back seat to profit. The start numbers were micromanaged week to week to the n-th degree. Career opportunities did exist for those who would engage in the who you know and who you blow concept of career enhancement. Those who were hired as CPs were expected to turn a campus around in 6 months or they were gone. Hence, the high turnover at the campus level. How is that for management support and training. Management philosophy promoted the dog eat dog atmosphere that apparently prevails up until the upcoming stroke of midnight.
Yes, you will hear the disciples expound fruitlessly about the success stories, but hey! They are few and far between. The problem did not start with CCI. It is a societal and more specifically a parental problem when kids and young adults lack the social skills and educational guidance they should have acquired at an early age. No amount of technical training is going to provide those soft skills employers seek. (Hence, the negative reputation of CCI students.) However, it becomes solely a CCI problem when they actively recruit and target those with little chance of success and that is where you are at today. That is why in desperation you hear those who state they would recruit from homeless shelters and other off-the-beaten path places. Starts! Starts! Starts! Was the rallying cry. But maybe this will be a lesson learned for other for-profit schools to follow. If you enroll those with a reasonable chance for success and DELIVER ON THE STUDENT OUTCOMES AS PROMISED, then success will follow. I am sure that many of you would agree that as a result of high turnover, many of your young or inexperienced managers were enthralled with their self-importance not knowing one iota of personnel management skills. So the question becomes where was the campus support for staff and faculty when needed most? It was essentially non-existent. At this point I see CCI demise as well earned by the board and your management personnel
