Student Success is hiring for remote, work from home opportunities with immediate availability and schedules that offer flexibility.   

Choosing the right school and the right program is more difficult today than it has ever been.  The variety of institutions, programs, and modalities is growing and the process to enroll can be complex.  Enrollment Coaches support prospective students who are seeking information about institutions, their programs, and the process of application and enrollment. Through phone or web-based meetings, Enrollment Coaches lead consultative coaching sessions with prospective students to determine the “why” behind their interest, understand their motivations and needs, connect them with valuable resources, and lead them through the steps of enrollment.  Our institutional partners count on Enrollment Coaches to be an extension of their own enrollment departments and to help meet student enrollment targets.
