Each year, CCA and its members support almost two million students for employment in over 200 occupational fields.
“Since its inception, CCA has been extremely influential in the for-profit education industry. I am pleased and impressed that students have always remained the main focus of the association,” Kapper said. “It is an honor to be a part of the governing body that represents for-profit education and continues to support access to education and to deliver valuable resources and opportunities to students across the country.”
CCA schools are responsible for educating one-half of all technically trained workers who enter the U.S. workforce each year. Many of these students’ educations are made possible by support from the organization.
