Corinthian Colleges, Inc. Career Opportunities |
Opportunity Snapshot
This position offers you the opportunity to help students -- many of them high risk -- achieve their dreams. "Achieving dreams" may sound like a lofty goal, but at Corinthian Colleges that is what we do: help students achieve their dreams by giving them the skills they need to be successful in a variety of careers and connecting them with employers upon graduation. You'll play a key role in delivering on that commitment in this twofold role: in addition to marketing student externships to employers, you will act as a personal coach to the students, helping set them up for success. Challenging? No doubt. But the rewards of changing people's lives far outweigh the challenges.
To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have at least three years of work experience that demonstrate a combination of service mindedness and business savvy; experience in education, sales and/or marketing can be helpful but is not required. You also will need experience working directly with people, excellent listening skills and the ability to coach students. Quick question for you - click here
We're looking for a professional with a solution-oriented approach as well as the assertiveness to be frank and straightforward with students. You also will need a strong work ethic, solid organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
Corinthian Colleges, Inc (CCi) is one of the most dynamic recent success stories to emerge from what was for so many businesses a challenging period. Our revenue in 2009 was $1.3 billion, up almost 20% over 2008, and preliminary figures put our revenues at $1.75 billion for 2010. With more than 93,000 students as of December 31, 2009, we have become one of the largest post-secondary education companies in North America. That growth is creating opportunities for proven players.

What's in It for You
Make a true difference -- we serve a high-risk student population, individuals with few educational successes in their past, many of whom have to overcome challenges just to get to class every day.

Core impact -- Career services is a central part of our value proposition to students. In fact, if you're not from the education field, you should know that our accreditation requires that we place a certain percentage of our students, and externships play a key role in that effort.
Career development -- this position can offer you challenges and rewards for years to come. At the same time, it also can help set you up to move into a variety of areas in our organization, as you will interact with multiple departments such as Finance, Education and others.
Great environment -- CCi culture is student and employee focused, and our growing reputation as an industry leader is a great source of pride within the organization. We are continually asking, "What is best for the student?" as we expand core programs across our schools and enhance course offerings. The company also invests heavily in professional development and training for our employees.
Excellent compensation --- in addition to a competitive salary and bonus incentive program, we offer an excellent benefit package including an employee stock purchase program, comprehensive healthcare program, a 401(k) plan, and more.

Keys to Success
If you're a good fit for this position, you are intrigued by the fact that you'll be both businessperson and personal coach, but you'll need to be flexible to "change hats" more than once a day.

To excel in this role you will have exceptional listening skills to find out, in any given situation, what the real issues are and take steps quickly to move things in the right direction. You also will need to be comfortable holding students accountable -- sometimes a little tough love goes a long way.
