The Director of Education Development Program is a 12-week emersion and training program to develop future academic leaders for our accredited career education schools across the U.S. During the 12-week program, participants will spend time in various campuses and at Home Office to understand the functions of a career education campus and the science of adult education.

Other on-campus training components will include shadowing and performing various roles, conducting classroom observations and learning about other campus functions including Admissions, Financial Aid and Business Office. During this time, you will travel to various campuses in two-week blocks.
