High School Admissions Representative

High School Admissions Representative

Are you great with people but burned out by quota-only sales roles, unpredictable schedules, or jobs that feel transactional instead of meaningful?

This is your chance to use your communication skills, relationship-building abilities, and customer service or sales experience to help high school students explore career-focused education—while building a stable, rewarding career for yourself.

We're looking for motivated, people-focused professionals, not career educators.

If you know how to connect, present, and build relationships, we'll teach you our admissions and high school recruiting process.

What You'll Be Doing

As a High School Admissions Representative, you'll serve as the primary connection between our campuses, local high schools, and prospective students. You'll build relationships throughout the community while helping students and their families explore educational opportunities and navigate the admissions process.
