Who We Are 

Career Education Colleges and Universities (CECU) is the national organization serving postsecondary career education schools, staff, and most importantly, our students. We are a voluntary membership organization that serves as the national voice for the for-profit higher education sector. Today, more than 670 campuses across the nation are represented through their school’s membership.

Our member schools provide skills-based education opportunities to nontraditional students, particularly veterans, working mothers, and parents, to help them open doors and secure employment in today's workforce. These schools equip students with the career skills they need to succeed  - from allied health and nursing, to mechanics, welding, culinary arts, cosmetology, truck driving, veterinary medicine and beyond. 


​Our students are the HVAC workers who keep our offices cool and safe, the medical professionals who have helped us through the COVID-19 pandemic, the airplane maintenance mechanics who make sure we can travel safely, and the wind turbine technicians who help us find clean energy solutions.
