CECU has partnered with MaxKnowledge to create the largest employee training network for the postsecondary career education sector. CECU awards the Certified Higher Education Professional (CHEP) certification for completion of approved training through MaxKnowledge and a network of partnering associations and agencies representing career education institutions.
 
The CHEP credential recognizes employees of career education institutions who strive for excellence in their respective positions.  Certified professionals receive a digital certificate with an embedded open badge to share and showcase their achievements. Participating institutions are provided with digital recognition seals to demonstrate and display their commitment to excellence. 
 
The CHEP certification helps career education institutions to enhance employee credentials and performance resulting in increased institutional effectiveness and student outcomes. Additionally, nationally certified faculty and staff set participating institutions apart in the career education sector.
 
CECU awards the CHEP certification in the following specialization areas:

  • CHEP in Teaching
  • CHEP in Online Teaching
  • CHEP in Admissions
  • CHEP in Career Services
  • CHEP in Campus Operations
  • CHEP in Leadership
 
Visit www.cheponline.org for more information and a list of approved training providers.

Testimonials

I believe that CHEP certification is a valuable tool in helping to develop admissions leaders. CHEP allows my admissions leaders access to pertinent training topics with the flexibility and accessibility needed by working professionals. This process further demonstrates our commitment to a professional and ethical admissions process.
 
Dr. Mike Burkett
President of FTC/DAVE

We have been using the high-quality training courses delivered through MaxKnowledge since 2009. These courses and the CHEP certifications enhance our instructors’ abilities to teach in the classroom and online and is a key component in our ongoing strategy to deliver academic excellence.

The Essential Workforce Skills Programmatic Certification, awarded by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), is a programmatic certification intended to formally recognize career education programs of accredited institutions that effectively help students develop, articulate, and practice the essential workforce skills necessary for long term career success.
 
Essential workforce skills – often referred to as “soft skills” – comprise the "workforce competency" that are a necessary part of any high-quality career education program. These include skills from areas such as Communication, People Skills, Self-Management, Analytical Skills, Planning Skills, and Career Management.
 
This dynamic certification provides schools with quality criteria against which to evaluate their practices to ensure their programs effectively integrate the essential workforce skills employers need across all industries.
