WIth a portfolio of schools spanning over multiple sectors with multiple brands rather than just diversifying in too many degree programs with one brand (often diluting margins), CECO is positioned well in Business, IT and Health. All Sectors which are expecting positive job growth in the coming years. This is an essential ingredient to overcoming Gainful Employment and Default issues plaguing higher ed and proprietary ed particularly. CECO's made some tough decisions in management, admissions and program selection in the past 6 months that could put them ahead of the pack over the next 2 to 4 year period. These changes are geared toward anchoring quality student outcomes and solid returns for investors.
