Mairi Wilkins
Jumpstart ’23
“I wanted to advance my career by earning my teaching license. After learning about the Jumpstart program from a paraprofessional at my daughter’s school, I was hooked. The admissions process was quick and easy, and within weeks, I was registered for classes and ready to go!”
Allison Hinderliter
Education Leadership, Administrative Specialist License ’23
“My courses were wonderful and provided realistic knowledge that I would need as an administrator. Instructors and professors were communicative and helpful whenever I ran into an issue. I was able to complete my coursework in about a year and I earned my Administrative Specialist.”
Joe
Lough
