Not looking good here. Will be the lowest start for us since last January. In fact it is less than last January.

Only about 40 new starts for WyoTech in January. Population dropping to around 250 students. I hear ECMC isn't getting many delinquent student loans to service and is starting to struggle with cash flow. This could be the writing on the wall for Zenith Education Group. Now with the DOE putting an end to ACICS that puts about 10 Everest schools in limbo without accreditation.
Average of about 300 at each.
Anyone know how WyoTech is doing? When I was part of CCi, campuses had more than 1000 students. How many at Laramie and PA?
It's starting to feel like CCi all over again. Don't let the students withdraw, don't fail the students, don't time them out, don't drug test them even if you know they're high, keep them in school at all costs. It's all the money and not about the education. Keep after them to sign up for more classes, especially the veterans. Equipment in poor or non working condition. Read the tests to them and help them figure out the answers, don't let them fail. Even with all this the numbers are falling and the ones that do graduate can't get jobs.
Our campus is barely over a hundred. Moral is really low.
MUCH .... MUCH .... LOWER!!
Way way lower at all campuses. Contact Tom O'Donnell for details. If he sounds familiar he was responsible for closing all of CECs campuses. Now works for us at Zenith. Any other questions?
According to the National Center for Education Statistics' College Navigator, these were the campus enrollments from Spring 2016. I have listed them in order from lowest to highest enrollment. Are the numbers even worse now, and if so, are they significantly lower?

94,000,000 people in the US are unemployed and not looking for work. Good work, Barack. Even if someone finishes their education, there are no decent jobs to be had. There is no economy. Between the Obama driven EPA and his George Soros sycophant protesters, there are no startups in the economy except for health care and FaceBook.
The federal government is going to get out of the student loan business. It's going back to the banks where it belongs.
"I think I understand the variety of reasons why people stay here working."
I'm a part-time faculty member, so if the door are locked tomorrow, that's fine.
Are ANY Everest schools growing? How many students are needed to cash flow? I bet none of them are cash flow positive. Hard to imagine ECMC pouring more into dying schools, unless Trump keeps giving student loan portfolios to them.
Well hopefully the economy improves under Trump and more better paying jobs open up. It's hard to just leave a job you've been doing for more than 10 years and have worked your way up the salary level for a job making so much less. If you're forced to then it becomes easier to swallow such a decrease in pay and benefits.
I think I understand the variety of reasons why people stay here working......loyalty, commitment, fear of change, uncertainty about how to start a search, limited options, hanging on for severance, concern about the ability/need to completely change industries.... I am sure there are many others. The truth is that this "school" is on a path to dissolution, and along with it your jobs. Maybe not this month, maybe not next, but look around and try to come up with one solid, significant fact that points to some other conclusion. Do what is right for you and your family. Don't leave your fate in the hands of those who have no business deciding it. God bless, and merry Christmas.......
Talk about placement rates, ours have continued to decline for the last 2 years. Enrollment increased slightly in September but is looking really bad for January.
ENROLLMENTS ARE VERY LOW....I don't know how the doors stay open. MORALE is even LOWER!!!
The managers at Everest remind me of my baby daddies. They come during the good times and leave once there is work to do.
Interesting to here placement outcomes are low. With shrinking population a good campus could close programs out of externship.
same here in michigan
Enrollments here are bad and placement outcomes not getting any better. Employers don't want our students.
I work at another scam school, and the enrollments are very low.
