The company generates revenue primarily from tuition and fees paid by students enrolled in its diploma certificate and associate degree programs. For the fiscal year ended December 31 2025 total revenue was $518.2 million representing an increase of 17.8% over the prior year. Approximately 84.7% of revenue was derived from Title IV programs in fiscal year 2025. About 4.8% of revenue came from veterans benefits programs.

The company believes it provides high quality career oriented training that serves students, local employers and their communities while addressing a growing skills gap. Its programs target areas underserved by traditional postsecondary providers and are supported by convenient scheduling, career focused curricula and strong job placement services. The company competes primarily with other for profit career schools, not for profit public and private institutions, and two year community colleges most of which participate in Title IV funding. Competitive advantages include diverse program offerings, quality of instruction, strong brand reputation, and graduates success in securing employment.
The company serves recent high school graduates and working adults seeking career oriented education. Its student body includes individuals from local communities, as well as students from across the United States, and occasionally from abroad who attend its destination schools. The company also maintains relationships with local employers and several Fortune 500 firms to support graduate placement and curriculum development.
