Dave Hawn hires a consulting team to look at Zenith and its admissions plans. The board must not have been convinced Gary's 1980's approach to student outreach would work. The consulting group came back with cutting high school reps territories to 150 miles and keeping WyoTech's military team in place. What does Gary and his clones do? They go against the recommendation and keep the 250 mile territories and bust up the military team which is the most successful admissions team the company had in the last 8 years. Can you imagine that conversation between Hawn and Gary? Now his clones cant answer the very basic of veterans benefits questions. Troy embarrasses himself by not knowing the market or who to contact at Army Ed. Is Cassie even working? Jill is the biggest joke trying to come up with "ideas" to reach the veterans. How she has survived the many RIF's is beyond anyone's speculations. You trolls have no idea what your doing!

It doesn't matter if you call it WYO or whatever, it still sucks as a school and it's going under.
Oh Okay man Thanks! In future it is not you know nothing dummy ..it is you do not know anything.
Tissues are on sale at CVS. All of you go buy some right now.
OMG......:::: Jill Cochran still works here?????
It's not WYO, it's called WyoTech you stupid idiot. Just proves you know nothing about WyoTech.
@463. Enough already with Gary and his clones. You are like a broken record playing the same song over and over again and you are the only one listening. Some of us come here to get information that is meaningful and we are tired of hearing you whine
646 if you call 750 total students in THREE WyoTech schools still in business. I agree there are plenty of jobs out there for graduates from automotive schools. The problem is 30% of the Wyotech graduates hired quit or are terminated within the first 90 days of employment. How about over 60% less instructors still employed by WyoTech? How about just meeting minimum placement rates in many programs? Yeah they're still in business, but not for long. Listen to the complaints sent back by the employers that hire our students, barely meet the requirements of a lube tech, no work ethic, poor attendance, very poor attitude and the list goes on.
@463 HI LES!
@649 Present a valid argument and shut the trolls up. Your logic is skewed as you apparently side with OP. All talk and no solutions as usual. Oh wait everything is awesome and the decline suddenly happened overnight. You are all too funny.
@463 Trolls still working how about you????
635 are you on something? Wyo is accredited and the Veterans are not stupid. They do their research before applying to schools. Are you implying that someone who graduated from WYO cannot find a job? If that is the case how is WYO still in business as they have to meet accreditation standards which is placement rates etc. Please go away.
So what you're saying 588 is when all else fails go after the veterans. I hope the Vetrans Administration takes notice of what Zenith and Wyotech are trying to do and puts a stop to it. It's time the government puts an end to all these so called schools preying on the veterans. It's all about getting the easy money at the expense of the nations veterans.
Real tough to get a veteran to start when the veterans make money by attending WYO. HS Students have to pay to go. The OP has conveniently forgot that and the Military numbers have not been that impressive. Sounds like a bitter Regional Military Guy that is no longer here.
I have worked for WyoTech for over 13 years and there were times that veterans made up more than fifty percent of the student population. They were so excited about recruiting veterans they reduced the high school visits and stopped the summer vocational teachers visitation/training seminars and put more emphasis on veteran recruitment. The biggest reason was it was more cost effective to go after the veterans than the high school graduates and they saved the cost of the summer seminars. When I brought up the issue with placement concerns with the veterans I was told it was more important to fill the seats than worry about placement rates and it was garanteed income. That is predatory recruiting and preying on our veterans.
I have worked for Wyo for over 10 years and never have I been asked to or have I ever witnessed anyone take advantage of veterans. I am also encouraged that our new boss is a veteran and when he spoke to all of us, he talked about growing the veteran population.
Another post about how WyoTech preyed on our countries veterans for the last 8 years. Didn't matter if the veterans had any thoughts of working in the automotive industry. Just fill the seats and collect the money. When Zenith tries to do the right thing and stop the predatory recruiting you want them to go back to the way it was under CCi. If veterans are truly interested in WyoTech they will still enroll.
