Great Careers in Two Years

A Day In The Life | 0 comments

My awesome wife, Regina (I call her Regi) is the staff wellness coordinator for Johnson County Community College (JCCC).

It’s the largest college in Kansas.

JCCC employs nearly 2,300 faculty and staff.

In fact, they have the largest student population of any post-secondary school in Kansas.

Over 29,000 students enrolled at JCCC every semester.

The largest university in Kansas, Kansas University, has a total enrollment of 28,000 students.

JCCC offers 100 degree and certificate programs in 48 areas of study.

You can even learn how to become a certified locomotive engineer at JCCC.

Alas… if only I would have known that as a child… LOL.

JCCC has an interesting sign at the entrance to the school that says…

“Great Careers in Two Years”

That’s quite a promise.

Do they deliver?

Yes, they do.

JCCC offers their students the opportunity to learn a skill or trade from talented instructors using state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

The students are taught exactly what they need to know to be successful.

In two years.

Without the fluff.

I just wrapped up launching the Design Business Accelerator last week and we released the first module to all of the new students.

The Accelerator is an 8-week commitment I make to designer to help them become profitable and sustainable business owners.

In 8 weeks…

Without the fluff…

Just the proven tactics and strategies that I’ve distilled from my own journey as a profitable and sustainable design business owner.

Accelerator enrollment is closed until 2025.

But, if you missed out and want to get a notification when we open enrollment again, be sure to get on the waitlist.
