The founders of the school, Candy Hernandez, Alison Kokkoros and CEO, Sonia Gutierrez provide students with the necessary educational skills for success in life.
The diverse workforce prepares students for the real world. Students in the school are provided with programs to enhance in multiple areas. Candy Hernandez, chief operating officer said “the school is growing and expanding with the workforce developing programs” as a “new site will open under the same company in two years to enroll new students.” The opening of a new site and programs will allow students to develop more skills in learning. The inauguration of the school was a “memorable experience” and additionally with the development of technology the school is able to “simultaneously transmit educational videos” that enhance education, said Hernandez.
The programs of the school, such as Culinary Arts has, according to Zoila Hall, executive assistant of Alison Kokkoros, “progressed since it began and will be introduced in another location the school has to continuously serve students with a valuable education.” In addition, Hall believes that “the enrollment rate has increased over the years as there is a long waiting list of students.” Students from the Washington DC area have been trying to enroll at the school because it provides courses such as the English and other programs including Culinary Arts. Furthermore, Ronald King Jr, office assistant at the school adds that “every year we get more students as there are wonderful people working in registration to make sure each one enrolls.” The future of the school is the students and “I would like to work as an ESL teacher because I want to be able to help students with their desired studies” says King. In addition, King also says “I have enjoyed twelve working years in the school because I have helped students such as the immigrants to enroll and learn English.” Both Hall and King believe that the school’s enrollment rate has increased over the years although the waiting list still persists.
