Everest Announces Closure of Service Center

Everest College says its service center in Colorado Springs will be closing at the end of February.

About 200 people work at the center located on Garden of the Gods Road. Employees at the facility provide support for students and faculty.

Everest's parent company, Corinthian Colleges Inc., announced in November that it is selling 56 WyoTech and Everest campuses and online programs, including the one in Colorado Springs.

The company says students attending classes at the Everest campus on Jet Wing Drive in Colorado Springs will not be affected by Wednesday's announcement.

A spokesperson from Corinthian Colleges says the call center is closing because the new owner, Zenith Education Group, plans to consolidate the services offered at the call center into other existing facilities.

Corinthian Colleges has campuses located in Colorado Springs, Aurora and Thornton. All three are being sold to Zenith Education Group.

The sale is expected to be finalized in early 2015.http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Everest-286141711.html

Were the employees there notified first, or did they find out by reading the news?
