The Magic of Hire Education

Across from the entrance to Disney World and the spires of the Magic Kingdom, career college executives will gather to discuss almost storybook growth. In the failing economy, career colleges have posted enormous growth that should lift spirits as high as the rollercoaster turns at Walt Disney’s Florida dream park during the 2009 Career College Association Convention & Exposition. The conference will be held from June 14-16 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Fla.
